Deleted THOUSANDS of email, then get notice iCloud is full?
I happened to notice that I had a ridiculous amount of unimportant emails in my inbox. Like 22,000 of them. So this evening I sat down, added a couple of folders and went about the dull task of erasing most of the emails (keeping just a few organized in the folders). When I have deleted about 10,000 emails I suddenly get an email from iCloud telling me that my iCloud storage is full and that I will no longer be able to receive emails. It then instructs me to buy more storage to allow email to be received again.
Now, I could understand having received this yesterday, but right after I have deleted 10,000 old emails? I would think that was exacted what I needed to do, how could that have caused the problem?
This was on an iMac, on Mail, running Mountain Lion, if that helps.
Am I missing something?
Thanks
hello mende1 and elenasg,
i recevied the same message and I did delete a lot of emails as well but the problem for me is that when I go to my system preference I only see MobileMe and when I click on it I see: Account Status: An error was returned from the server. Please try again later but I tried it many times since Obtober first but nothing showes. I wanted to buy more storage but I don't have any chance to go to iCloud.
I will appreciate a lot if you can help me at one point.
Thank you soooo much and it means a lot

How do I delete thousands of emails on my Ipad3
How do I delete thousands of emails on IPad3, without doing them one at a time?
Hi, You can easily delete multiple email messages from the iPad by using the Mail's edit feature. The button on the top right side of the inbox is the edit button. Touching this button will put your inbox into edit mode.
Once your inbox is in edit mode, you can select multiple messages by touching each message you want to delete. You then have the option to either delete them by pressing the delete button at the bottom of the screen or moving them to a specific folder by touching the move button. -
What is the quickest way to delete thousands of emails?
What is the quickest way to delete thousands of emails?
If you are using Apple Mail, you should be able to select a whole bunch of them at once and delete them (there are two commands for this under the Edit menu, Select All and Delete), then empty the Mail trash.
If you are reading an email account through a web browser, they should provide a way to select multiple files. Usually it is a checkbox at the top of a column that selects the entire column when checked. If they let you increase the number of messages visible at once, you can select more at a time. -
In preparing for iCloud storage to be reduced to 5GB, I have deleted all my emails (via internet to iCloud) including all inboxes, sent mail, archived etc. HOWEVER my iPhone (under Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage says I have 8.5 GB. Please help!
The only thing I can think of that may cause this would be storage buffering. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4873.

i am frustrated and mad that someone made purchases using my itunes account and somehow my credit card was added to my account as well. i didn't even add it myself. what can i do to get my money back thats all i want.
They show on your account's purchase history e.g. they aren't phishing emails ? If you log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
Have you also removed your credit card from your account (does anybody else have access to your card and might have added it ?) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918 ?
If they show there and nobody else has access to your account or devices and made them, then try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
New problem just started 24 hours ago. When I try to export from the time line to create a QuickTime file, a 7 minute movie on time line takes 3 hours to export and then the export fails, where as a few days ago, that export would take about 10 minutes at most. I get the same failure notice when I try to share to blu-ray, DVD, or Vimeo. Tried to use compressor, no such luck as compressor failed to make a .mov file. I get QuickTime error 0 message about 5 minutes into trying to share to Blu-Ray now. Does anyone know what is going on here? I'm running latest update of Snow Leopard on an intel Mac Pro and the latest update to Final Cut Pro X. I've also installed QT 7.6.6 to use in creating time lapse movie files.
Same problem here, too. Final Cut Pro X 10.0.3 on OS 10.6.8. However, it is only doing it on ONE of my projects. A 4-second test project burned successfully.
I'm actually going to use iDVD to burn copies for a few people, so I only need the movie file from FCPX.
Would someone please post best export settings for use on a DVD? In FCPX, the project is in HD (1080p) with all media optimized to ProRes 442. I know it will have to be down-sampled to DVD resolution, but I've always been curious to know what settings will result produce the best possible quality in DVD resolution.
Thank you!

Help Please, I sold my iphone 4 to my neighbor after I restored it to factory settings. I just bought a new iphone 5 and decided to check out the icloud "stuff' so that I can use 'find my iphone' because I have 2 kids. I went to check out my icloud on my imac and in the address bar put icloud.com then signed in, double clicked on mail went accounts then clicked on the gear in the right hand corner and there it was. My neighbor had his email in the icloud and there absolutely was no way to delete his info off of my new phone. I guess once the first person enters their info you absolutely cant get rid of it. you can get rid of aliases but just not the original one. WHY!! Is there any brilliant, wonderful,generous person out there that would know how to delete him from my account. The genius bar said that they've never seen this before. If someone can help I'm taking the info to the apple stores that I went to so that I can teach them how to do it. Of course, I will tell them who showed me. I give you my word.
As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account. It's assigned when the account is created. But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password. Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't. Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it. If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you. -
All my email has disappeared from iCloud. I did not delete it, and now it's working again, but only from 28 August 2013. What happened to my old emails? How do I get them back? thanks
Have you checked whether the emails are visible at http://icloud.com ? If they are, it's a problem between your Mac and the website; sign out in System Preferences>iCloud and sign back in again.
If they aren't, then it's a server problem and you need to contact Support. If you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee; if so you should argue that this is a problem they've caused (it's not the first time, by the way) and you shouldn't be charged. -
When I set up my new iPhone 5c I inadvertently used wrong email for setting up my apple id. I have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account. I cannot delete it either. How can I get an iCloud account for this phone?
You said "have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account. I cannot delete it either. ".
Why can't you verify it?
Do you not receive the verification email address?
If problem contact iTunes by:

When I tap the mail icon on my iPhone 4s, the menu of email servers pops up. I already have a me acct that I check all the time, no problem. So I choose iCloud, sign in and it tells me that I already have an acct….so why can't I get to my emails then? I've turned the phone off and on twice....that has fixed it in the past but not this time....

My contacts on my old Iphone I gave a family member were deleted then synced to icloud. My current iphone lost all its contacts when it next synced. I retreived a 6mth old backup to get my contacts, but I want my recent messages back, any help?
The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts. Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone. -
I asked a question about deleting deleted emails but after trying to delete all mail, it said no mail but it still keeps reappearing. The mail icon on the main screen says I have thousands of emails. I've rebooted, hit the trash one by one but they still come back! I'm going nuts!
That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

I just dumped thousands of emails from my icloud storage, as it was full. That was about 35 hours ago, I'm still not getting emails. I'm no where near full now....how long before I will get emails again?
Does anyone have an answer to this problem? It's been 4 or 5 days now and iCloud still says I have 0kb of 5GB available, and 6.1GB of mail on iCloud. I guess that's better than yesterday when it said I had 8.3GB of mail. Does anyone know if it simply takes Apple a week to actually empty a mailbox?
thanks in advance, hopefully tomorrow it says I have only 4GB of non-existent mail and I can start using it again... -
I like many have been experiencing mail problems since I migrated to iCloud. Was working fine for a bit, then I now either get crashes or a revolving beachball when I attempt to type an email address. Have tried quitting and rebooting...you name it. What is Apple saying or doing to fix the problem. Been like this all weekend.
iCloud mail is down again...mine allows mail to open, then when trying to address an email I get a beach ball and it stays until I quit mail.
That doesn't necessarily mean the mail is down in iCloud.
You can always check iCloud system status here.
If you are using Safari to access iCloud.com, go to the Safari menu bar click Safari / Empty Cache.
Now go the menu bar again and click Safari / Reset Safari.
Select the top 5 boxes then click Reset.
Quit then relaunch Safari, go to iCloud.com
Try Mail. -
As already described I started a WiFi Sync with iTunes. In about 3 seconds all apps were deleted. So all apps that were installed. Some apps waited for download. They are still on...
Now how can I backup to before the sync. The newest datas are in iCloud, maybe that will help! Otherwise I would also try to get it from iTunes. How is that possible?
I really hope someone can help me!I would check and see if the apps are still in iTunes on your computer and sync with the computer again. Just because we now have WiFi sync at our disposal does not mean that you can't sync with the computer again.
If you have a backup on your computer, you can restore from the backup first and sync any apps that are still missing. I think you can only restore from iCloud if you restore your iPad to factory settings using iTunes on the computer anyway. I see no way to restore from iCloud simply by using the device itself. I'm pretty sure that is how you must do it. Perhaps you have to erase all content and settings on the device and then restore with iCloud and I assume that would work as well. I see no setting in iCloud on the iPad that lets you restore from the backup, so you still have to restore to factory settings some way.
So while we are free from the computer in some ways, IMHO - it still handy to be reliant on your computer. I may be missing something - but after watching a couple of videos about restoring from the cloud, that is the way I think it works.
