2 iCloud email accounts

I seem to have a duplicate iCloud email account on my iphone. It is the same account (contains all the same content). I'm wondering if one is the .me and the other is the .icloud . But, it is a chore to figure out the duplicate messages. Any ideas on how to get rid of one and not have this duplication again? The problem did not arise on my iPad). Thanks!

Unusually, it should not be possible to set up the same account twice. Please check your settings on your device:
1. "Seetings > iCloud".
2. "Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar".
Just delete your accounts from your device and then set it back on again in "Settings iCloud".

I just got an iphone recently and I started my apple id using my gmail email address. I decided to change email from gmail to icloud so I setup an icloud email account and now I have two apple id accounts. All my primary information is in the gmail apple id account and i just want to merge the two together. I've tried changing the apple id on the main account to the icloud email, but it says it already exists. How can I merge these two accounts without deleting one or the other?
Thanks

You can't merge iCloud accounts.
You could move all your calendars contacts etc over from the account you don't want to the one you do, it's not simple but about all I can suggest.

HT4865 How can I have multiple icloud email accounts using the same rescue email account.

I have several Iphones for my business for managers to use.
I would like to set them up to send me the recovery emails but it seems only one icloud address can do that.
Is it possible to have multiple icloud email accounts using the same - seperate recovery email address?

Unfortunately, you cannot change your primary @me.com or @icloud.com email address, you could however create an alias or create a completely new account.

How can I delete my iCloud email accounts?

How can I delete my iCloud email accounts? I no longer own any apple devices and find that the email is at best unreliable. Also, I am having to deal with a good portion of daily tasteless spam content at the original @me.com address. As I no longer have any apple devices I wouldn't mind having the whole iCloud account deleted. I have already erased all of my information from the icloud.com site.

Then that is all you can do.
You currently can not delete an iCloud account.

I have set up an iCloud email account in my name on my iPad and wish to set one up for my husband in his name. I can't seem to find how to do this. Am I only allowed one email address? If not can someone talk me through this. Thanks

I wish to set up an alias address on my iPad. My iCloud address has already been established and I can find no way to get into my account to add any alias.

You can create up to 3 alias addresses but you have to do this on icloud.com from your computer browser. This article explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622. Also, incoming email to an alias address will go to your current iCloud inbox so it really isn't a separate account; just a different email address for the same account.
Each iCloud account only has a single iCloud email account. If you really want to set up another, you would need to add a secondary iCloud account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, then entering a different Apple ID to create the account. You can then turn on Mail to create the new account. Mail in secondary accounts, however, is fetch email, not push (which is only supported in the primary account).

Does email sync over iCloud also support sync of non iCloud email accounts?

I use mac, ipad and iphone with sync over iCloud. While ipad and iphone sync emails of both iCloud and non iCloud email accounts, email sync between mac and ios devices works only for iCloud email account.
Please clarify whether iCloud should sync emails of both iCloud and non iCloud email account across all apple devices (mac, iphone, ipad) or it is not designed to do so.
Thank you.

Thank you for clarification.
However, after rechecking everything again, I can cofirm that full sync of all email accounts (icloud and non icloud) on all apple devices works perfectly as long emails originate from ios device. Unfortunately, this does work if email is sent from mac.
Thanks again.

I have an icloud email account that my spouse used and he is gone now, can I delete this one and use another or will this delete information?

I have an icloud email account that was set up by my spouse and I am trying to get rid of everything with him on it due to the nature of the split and want to make sure he can never access the childrens and my photots, music, etc.
In this I wanted to change the email address in icloud so that I no longer get his emails from his contacts, friends, etc. I made an alias but is there anyway to delete this icloud email address and use another or will this delete all of our data?
New at this icloud and its real cool but afraid to lose all my information.
Help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Deleting the account from the phone will do only that! it won't affect any other information on any other device.

Can I delete an iCloud email account?

I like iCloud but it confuses the **** out of me. I want to just get rid of it and maybe start fresh later on. I switched mobile me over to iCloud (more than one email) and iCloud list the wrong one as primary. mobile me was aliases emails iCloud isn't the same .......Confused!
Another problem:
I have been told I am online using Aim or iChat, using a mobile me login. but I am not Something funky going on and for the life of me I can not square things away. I think just deleting and starting fresh would uncomplicate things on this end. Can anyone here understand what I'm trying to fix?

Hi Rebecca, yes you can, can you afford to lose al eMails in it?
Would you like to know how to setup an iCloud eMail account that works?

TS4002 How do I re-add an existing iCloud email account to iPad 2?

I set up iCloud email OK on my new iPad 2. I did not previously have a MobileMe account. When the email stopped working (I got repeated messages to say server unavailable) I followed Apple instructions to delete the account from the iPad with the intention of re-adding it.
When I try to do this, it always wants to make me create a new @me.com email address, and I can't find a way to tell it my existing one. If I try to add my existing address, it tells me that it is taken and I have to choose another (of course it's taken, it's mine!)
I can login to anything that requires an Apple ID (iTunes Store, Apple ID pages, iCloud.com etc.) with either my actual Apple ID or my existing @me.com email address and all the features on iCloud.com except Mail work fine, including Locate my iPad, Documents, Contacts, Calendar. The email address is also set up manually in Mail on my MacMini (OS 10.6.8) and still works from there. I don't wish to upgrade to 10.7 because I have some programs that won't work on that.
How do I tell my iPad that I already have an iCloud email account @me.com?

I have solved this - partially. I deleted the iCloud account from my iPad, rebooted it, then re-added it using my @me.com address as my AppleID instead of my primary AppleID. These are still linked to one another.
The iPad still says it cannot contact the iCloud server, so in the Advanced pane of the Mail settings, Outgoing Mail Server, I have allowed it to use the outgoing server of another email address of mine.

Can I merge my iCloud email account with my mobile.me email account?

Can I merge my iCloud email account with my mobile.me email account?

Are the usernames the same - e.g. is it [email protected] and [email protected] or is it [email protected] and [email protected]?
If the former, they are the same thing, part of the same account, and deliver into the same inbox.
If they are different then either
a) One of them is an 'alias' on the same account and delivers into the same inbox, or
b) You have two separate iCloud accounts.
In the latter case you cannot move an address from one account to another; in the other cases they are already 'merged'.

Can I add my icloud email account to my phone if my phone is not an iPhone?

I do not have an iphone but I have a basic smart phone, however we just bought a new Mac desktop that has the icloud email service. I was just wondering if I could add my iCloud account to my phone without my phone being an Iphone.

You can add your iCloud email account to your phone by using these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864. While these apps aren't free, if your phone is an android, you could also look into using SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts and SmoothSync for Cloud Calendars to sync your iCloud contacts and calendars.

How do i set up my iCloud account on our new Mac My family have set up their Sky, gMail, & hot mails accounts really easily yet mine just woun't work keep hetting a message unable to conect to outgoing mail server.
why are 3rd party accounts so easy to set up and my apple one keeps failing Help...

Thanks - its 1 month old (max), the OSX version is 10.8.4 we already have iCloud set up on my iPhone 4S & this iMac.
I try to tick mail in the cloud menu but get an error message telling me "iCloud mail couldn't be enabled from the iCloud Preference Pane. Open mail and add iCloud account from Mail preferences"
when I do that i get the message " the icloud IMAP server p15-imap.mail.me.com is not responding. Try checking the network conection, and that the server name is correct. Otherwise, the server may be temorarily unavailable. If you continue you may not be able to recieve messgaes.
we thought the incoming server name looked odd (p15- imap.mail.me.com) but its greyed out and can't be edited even though other 3rd party accounts can.
really don't want to have to ditch the iCloud email account as i use it the most & loads of friends contact me on it
But been trying with my Dad all afternoon to fix it and are both stumped.
Any help would be really appreciated

How do i obtain a new iCloud email account

My father set up a new ipad mini for my mother without setting up an icloud email account. How do I go back to reset and obtain an icloud and apple Id?
My father set the ipad up with a gmail account and forgot the password so everything is messed up help.

Well the Mac is way too old, but rhis situation may not be as bad as it appears. Take a look at these kb articles.
1. Did they enter an email address to use for an Apple ID? If they didn't, then they can create one where I stated in the other post - Settings>iTunes and App Store. They can create the ID in there.
If they want to use a credit card with their Apple ID. See this.
iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes - Support
if they don't want to use a credit card, then they can create the ID this way.
Create iTunes Store account without credit card - Support - Apple
2. This might help with the iCloud account. It is really quite simple.

HT5824 How to create a new icloud email account

I need to create a new Icloud email account for may company. How can I do it?

Does your company have a domain name and website? If it does you should be able to create an email address using the domain name. For instance, if you company's website is ABC.com you can have multiple email addresses like "[email protected]". Check with the hosting service that is hosting your business website.
