Changing icloud @me mail account

Hello everyone,
i installed ios5 today and completed the setup of iCloud.
So, i created an account @me.com for the email that merge with the apple ID account.
My problem is that i want to change that @me.com mail associated to my apple ID account for another @me.com already existing!
Is that possible anyway?
Thanks in advance

in icloud.com. you can add other aliases to your @me.com account in the mail area that people can send to you. I love this feature and it lets you use multiple @me.com's

How to change "Full Name" in iCloud IMAP mail account information

Brand new to this forum so please excuse any newbieisms. I am running OS X 10.7.5 I created an iCloud IMAP mail account so that I can sync with my iPhone.
Windows Live is my original mail account. All is good except the "Full Name" in "Accounts" preferernces is somehow incorrect. When I send mail frm my Mac, this incorrect name shows in the "From" field. Mail sent from my iPhone shows my correct name as it appears in my phone cloud settings. The name doesn't sync in iCloud. All other syncing is good. When I try to change it manually in my Mac mail preferences, I get the message "the"Incoming Mail Server" field can not be empty" when I try to save the changes. The aforementioned field is not empty and is in fact greyed out as this was self populated upon creation of the account. I can't even change the case sensitivity of the name or I get the message. As a stop gap I have created an alias to send mail with, but would like a proper fix. Any ideas?

If you created a new iCloud account it would have a new associated iCloud email account. You wouldn't be able to move your current @icloud.com address to the new account.
Just to double-check, after quitting (Command-Q) and re-opening Mail, did you start an new message and click the down-arrow next to From to see if the new sender name was available from the drop-down list (see image below)? If so, you might try signing out of iCloud entirely. To do this, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then sign back in and test Mail again. (This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud. Your iCloud data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

I just changed my apple ID because I needed to change my e mail account. My new ID updated on all of my devices except for iCloud on my phone. My phone however will not recognize my new Apple ID for iCloud? Any suggestions?

To change the iCloud ID on your phone 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 new ID. If you only changed your ID and didn't create an entirely new ID, you can choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted. Your data will download back to your phone when you sign back in.
Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll before deleting the account. Deleting the account deletes the photo stream photos from your phone.

I am unable to access my iCloud e mail account and am still able to access AOL account though. It says something about an IMAP pathway and a port number how do I find this?

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new 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, 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.

HT201342 Deleting an @iCloud e-mail account

How do I delete an @iCloud e-mail account from my iCloud account. My son (7) created an iCloud account and it has become the master e-mail for all of our iCloud linked devices.

You can create an alias email address, which is not a separate account but will receive email in your current iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a), but as you may have read, you cannot change the master email address short of creating a new iCloud account.

Can I have more then one icloud E-Mail Account?

Can I have more then one icloud E-Mail Account?

Hi Pathfinder93950,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
You can only have one iCloud account per Apple ID. However, you can have up to 3 aliases that point to that iCloud account. Here is some additional information:
iCloud: Set up an @icloud.com email address
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2620
After you set up your @icloud.com email address, you can use it to sign in to iCloud. You can also sign in using the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account.
iCloud: About email aliases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4897
iCloud: Create or change email aliases
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2622
You can have up to three active email aliases, and you can delete or deactivate (turn off) an email alias at any time. You might want to deactivate an alias if, for example, you use an alias to make a purchase. After you receive the item, you can turn off the alias to avoid follow-up advertisements, then turn it on again when you make another purchase.
Deleting an alias is permanent, so if you think you might want to use the alias again, you should simply turn it off. When an alias is turned off, all email sent to that alias is returned to the sender.

How can I change the default mail account in mail v6.3

I have in my mail preferences four accounts. The first one is a "Google IMAP" and all others are just "IMAP". When I'm composing a new email it defaults to the wrong account. Intuitively I think the the first account listed under mail preference would be the default one, but I'm unable to move the order. How to I change this?

To change your default mail account, you just have to change the mail accounts order in the Mail sidebar. First of all, if you don't see your mailboxes under "Inbox" (at the top of the sidebar), press the arrow, and your mail accounts will appear.
Now, you just have to drag the mail account you want by default to the first position

I think what is happening is that you changed the email address for password recovery to the new one - the Appleid (and software "attached" to it) remain irrevokably linked to the id you purchased it with.

I would like to change my POP mail account to an IMAP account but Maverick is making it difficult. Anyone have any ideas?

I would like to change my POP mail account to an IMAP account but Maverick is making it difficult. Anyone have any ideas?

I have tried to create a new account but the latest version of Mac Mail attempts to help you. Since I already have a POP account with my carrier, each time I try to create a new account mail assumes I want a new POP account and creates that type of account. It does not give me the opportunity to input the options I want.

System preference freezes when i select icloud or mail accounts.

i migrated from mobile me to icloud and now the system preference freezes when i select icloud or mail accounts. The resources are 100% utilized. I also updated the software. Am using Lion OS X
Any Help , i need to get out of this.

No guarantees, what you might like to try the following:
1. Sign out of your account
(If you are unable to do this because System Preferences has frozen, Force Quit System Preferences and try again)
2. When prompted, opt to delete, contacts, calendars etc from your Mac.
(You are only deleting this data from your Mac, not from iCloud, the data will be reinstated when you log back in. If you need to check that the data is in iCloud before deleting it go to iCloud.com and check each section for data)
3. Having logged out, check that the iCloud accounts along with their data have disappeared from the Mail, Address Book and iCal Applications.
(If necessary, delete the iCloud accounts from each of these application separately from each Applications Preferences)
4. At this point it may be worth trying to log into iCloud from the System Preferences iCloud settings again, if this works, all well and good, if it doesn't continue to step 5.
5. Open your User Library folder in the Finder. (When in the Finder, go to the Go menu, hold down the option key (alt) and choose Library when it appears in the Go menu)
6. Navigate to Library > Application Support > iCloud and drag the iCloud folder to your desktop. (This action only copies the folder and will provide you with a back up)
7. Select the iCloud folder again in Library > Application Support and drag it to the trash, enter your administrators password when prompted.
8. Restart your computer.
9. You should now be able to enter your ID and Password in system Preferences > iCloud and log into your account. Check the services you wish to use and once you are satisfied it's working as it should, trashh the iCloud folder you copied to your desktop earlier.

HT201342 How can I change the USER of my i-cloud address? My 12 year old set up the e-mail account and used a silly user name (like: turtle!!). I would like to have an icloud e-mail account but under my own user name. The other /old name can be deleted?

How can I change the USER name of my i-cloud e-mail account? It was set up by my son and he used a silly / embarrassing user name. I would like to change this name OR set up another i-cloud e-mail account under my own name / reference. Help?

iCloud email addresses can't be changed or deleted, but you can set up an alias namethat he can use which will be linked to his current iCloud account and will receive email in the existing iCould inbox. This guide explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

Loss of photo stream when changing iCloud E-Mail

I switched e-mail providers. My Apple ID was changed months ago with no problem.
Today I wanted to enter the correct e-mail address for iCloud. I followed the instructions of several posts on here and made the change on my iPod touch. (Also have and iPhone and iPad.) I clicked on merge as I was instructed to when restarting the account with the new e-mail address. However only 143 of almost 1,000 photos re-appeared in photo stream.
I'm not going to change the information on the iPhone or iPad until I can get this figured out.
Comments? Suggestions?
Thanks,

iCloud only keeps photo stream photos for 30 days, even though up to 1000 photos will remain on your devices until deleted. When you re-enabled photo stream you only received photo stream photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud.
To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
However, to avoid losing photo stream photos, before deleting the account save them to your camera roll (if not already there). To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. Be sure to do this on your other devices first.
To get the missing photos back on your iPod, create a shared photo stream that includes them on one of your other devices and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).

TS5223 change icloud e-mail address

How do I change my e-mail for my iCloud. It won't let me change it on my settings and it's getting really annoying with the iCloud thing popping up asking for my password for the e-mail I don't use it for anymore. I tried reseting the password and that didn't help anything.

Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Icon for i cloud suddenly disappeared from mail ? Not a problem but just concerned that the icon should disappear from the listing for the iCloud e mail account

I had previosly set up a number of IMAP e mail account in addiiton under my .mac and .me account which is my personal account.
On the mail home page it had the inbox listing thee accounts and further down the page its used to list the on line accounts set up under I cloud using the same name as the .mac or .me accounts, but also included the i cloud icon as does my ipad. Logged onto day and the i cloud icon had dissappeared? not sure why it is still functioning and I still have all my icloud accounts set up but the icon is no longer present.
Maybe just a bit anal but it bugs me to know why this icon has suddenly dissappeared?

Hello,
Do you use these settings in Mail for your Gmail account (especially for the SMTP) ?
If you use IMAP and all your emails are still stored on the server you can delete your account in Mail and recreate it with the settings mentionned above.
Hope this will help.
