Can not delete ICloud email drafts after sending

I can not delete email drafts that showup after sending an email via icloud. Any suggestions?

Hi Joeuscg,
I've had this problem before, and there is a way to fix it!
Mac computer
On a Mac, go to Mail and open Preferences. Go to the 'Accounts' tab and select your iCloud account. Under 'Mailbox Behaviours' you will see a box marked 'Store draft messages on the server'. You need to make sure it is unchecked.
iOS device
On an iOS device, go to settings and go to the iCloud section. Then, tap 'Account' at the top of the page, and scroll down and tap 'Mail' under 'Advanced'. Scroll down again and tap 'Advanced'. Finally, tap 'Drafts Mailbox' and make sure 'Drafts' under 'On My iPad/iPhone/iPod' is selected.
Essentially, the problem is that Mail is saving drafts of your messages to the server as you write them. The problem occurs when you send the message, and Mail then redownloads the draft from the server. By disabling saving drafts to the server, you are stopping this conflict from occuring.
I hope this helps! Feel free to ask if you have any more questions.

Searching service and Lost the IMEI number, Can not delete icloud account

Have you contacted your phone carrier to notify them about your cellular data issue.

Can not delete icloud account

My icloud account is set up to my old email address, I have no way of accessing this email account. When I try to delete the icloud account on my phone it asks for a password, but password does not work and when I answer the security questions it says my birthday is invalid. I think this might be because it is an old apple id that probably no longer exists. It wont let me delete the account, turn off find my iphone or change it. Does anyone know what I can do to delete this icloud account and set it up wtih my new apple id?

I finally managed to get my iPhone 'unClouded' by disabling the individual options whist the phone was tethered to my MacBook.
In iTunes itself I then re-enabled the 'old-style' of syncing my address book & contacts to the iPhone, opting to replace the ocntent of the iPhone. (I was 100% sure my MacBook address was OK, and was my iCal in the Mac)
So in short here were the steps:
1. On MacBook, disable all iCould except the 'Find my Mac'
2. Tether iPhone to Mac.
3. On iPhone disable all iCloud (except find my iPhone)
4. In Itunes select the old-style options of what you like to sync with phone
This appeared to work for me.
Also as a plus, my battery life on the phone appears to be back at pre-IOS5. (Still at 100% after 2 hours, not back to the lower 90-ties)

Typo in Apple ID with iCloud. I can not delete icloud account as I can not sign in to sign out.

I have one wrong letter in apple ID associated with iCloud. I tried all the solutions available but nothing worked for me. My iCloud is not verified because i dont have the password for non existing apple id.
1) I changed the country in 'Manage my account' on the apple website
2) I tried resetting all settings
3) but the apple id in iCloud ask for its password.
4) I tried to delete the iCloud account. If I scroll down, I get sign out button. I clicked it. Then I get option ' Delete from iPhone', I clicked it. Then I get a small pop up window saying 'Password Required' - with 'enter apple iD password for "[email protected]" (typo email address) to turn off Find My Iphone'
5) The application forces me to sign in into the non existing apple id
How can I activate/ verify my icloud account with correct apple id?
Your help is appreciated....

What?

I downloaded music from my icloud account on to my iphone and i can not delete them off my iphone

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You cannot. However, you can solve this problem by setting the iPhone as a new device and upgrading iOS in Settings -> Software Update.
After upgrading iOS, open Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings. Finally, Setup Assistant will let you restore the backup.

You can go to icloud.com, open Mail, click on the gear shaped icon on the upper right and choose preferences, go to the Vacation tab and set up an auto response saying that the account is no longer in use. Then go to Settings>iCloud and turn Mail to Off on your device and stop using the account.
Incoming email to the account will receive your vacation auto response, and eventually the mailbox will fill up and no longer receive mail at all.

My first apple id is wrong because my email address was wrong!I can not delete my icloud account because my email address is wrong! Help me please

My first apple id is wrong because my email address was wrong!I can not delete my icloud account because my email address is wrong! Help me please

First go here - https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and login under the manage tab. Check your information and be sure it is all correct.
An AppleID is nothing more than an email address, so if you see another email address in the store, then someone has logged in with a different AppleID than yours. Did you let someone else use your iPhone?

Hi ccharat,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you did a good job editing your Apple ID and primary email address, but you didn’t sign out of iCloud on your iOS device before hand. What you may need to do in this situation is go back to the Apple ID website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the email address that is signed in with iCloud (there is no need to verify the account after editing it back to the old account, just changing it back is enough). Once your Apple ID is back to the original account, delete the iCloud account from the iOS device and be sure to keep all info on the device when prompted. After you delete the iCloud account, go back to the website and edit your Apple ID and primary email address back to the new address. Once it is back to the account you would like, you can sign into the iCloud on the iOS device with that new account and merge all of the data when prompted. Please use the following article as a reference.
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

I had to change my email acct and do not have access to the original one my icloud, iTunes,etc have. I changed it and signed out and was able to successfully change to the new email on iTunes and Apple ID. However, I can not get icloud to change over and.

I can not get icloud to let me change the email to my new acct???

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
