Deleting email account from iCloud

I am trying to set up my daughter's iCloud on her iPod and I keep getting the error message that her email address is already in use on another account. How can I delete the email from that account so I can use her email for her iCloud?

How do I delete email account from iCloud advance?

Hi,
My iCloud email is merged with two other alien email accounts in my advance iCloud account information on my device, how do I delete those accounts?

Welcome to the Apple Community Utch.
I suspect you might be referring to your iCloud email aliases, which can't be seperated so far as the inbox is concerned. You might consider making some mail rules to move them into different folders.

Delete email account from iCloud

Hi guys
I have a @gmail apple ID and after entered on icloud.com with my ID I have clicked on the email icon and it said that I should create an icloud account on a device to get through... so I did it on my iphone.
But this account was just a "test" one wich I suppose to delete it easily. But after hours trying to find out how to exclude this [email protected] mail from my iCloud account I could not find out a way to do it!!
When I go do Preferences inside the email on iCloud.com it shows my "test" account there, but no way to delete it!
Does anyone have an idea how to do that?
Thanks!

You can't delete or change the main email address. You can add up to three 'email aliases' which are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main address. It's actually quite a good idea to give out an alias address rather than the main one as if it gets spammed it can be easily deleted without affecting calendar etc. syncing.
Please see here about creating aliases:

Have you tried changing the admin password in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Password ??
The Apple ID that is associated with your admin password is noted there.

How to delete email account on iCloud

How do i delete a email account on icloud and put in a new one ?

If the ID is your the iPad is signed into is your old ID, and if your new 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 iPad 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. Then 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.

Impossible to delete POP accounts from iCloud keychain and SMTP not working

Hello,
After an aborted Mavericks clean install, I reverted to Mountain Lion via Time Machine and started experimenting with iCloud Keychain on Mavericks using trashable Virtual Machines.
I am hitting two serious problems with email accounts :
1. I turned on iCloud keychain ONLY on my Mavericks test installs (not on my iOS device)
2. First time I turned it on and used my usual AppleID, the test install retrieved all my email accounts (I have many of all types)
3. I could not make password SMTPS work on any IMAP accounts, so I decided to delete ALL email accounts from my iCloud Keychain
4. When you ask to delete an email account, it asks if you want to delete it from ALL your accounts, whoch is what I did (make a clean slate)
5. Of all the accounts I have, I have two old disabled POP3 accounts. I deleted them as every other one (including FB, Twitter, LinkedIN, Exchange, ...)
Every time I set up a new test install with iCloud keychain enabled, these two POP accounts continue to show up on the list.
Every time I delete them again from ALL keychains they disappear, but anytime I launch Mail they come back, and if I delete them again, and then I add a new email account they come back.
No way to delete them from ALL keychains
And BTW user/password SMTP on SSL for IMAP accounts does not work for me. It fails all the times on my postfix server.
So, my issues are :
- iCloud keychains seems unstable with email accounts (probably with POP accounts only)
- SMTP over SSL with user/password doesn't seem to work
Anybody hit the issue ? For me is a severe showstopper for Mavericks and iCloud keychains
Best
Luca

Restore it as new. Why wouldn't you do that when purchasing a used device from another individual?

Delete email account from my phone

I want to delete an email account from my Droid Razr Maxx. I set up my Yahoo account on my phone. I did not realize that I was going to get all the mail including the hundreds of spam I get daily on this account. I dont want to delete it, I just dont want it to get to my phone.

Ok so what one do you want to do away with if it's a Gmail account i would keep it unless it's getting really bad but one thing if you do get rid of it you have to Factory Reset to Remove the Gmail account Now if this is another Email say like AOL you can remove it by just going to accounts and going to the one in Question and remove it, then put your Yahoo in it's place one thing i would recommend doing is after you remove the Account go the home Screen perform a Soft Reset and then go back and add the Account when your phone comes back on..

Not sure how you would delete an email account through the conctacts app.
Have you tried AirWwatch support?
http://www.air-watch.com/services/support
What exactly do you not see? The delete button?
Are you using the default Mail App or one installed by AirWatch?
If you are using the Mail App what do you see under Settings->Mail, Contacts & Calendars->Accounts?

Problem with email account from iCloud

Hello people!
First of all, thanks for reading this!
So, I updated yesterday to iOS5, I have an iPad 2. Everything works absolutely amazing. I installed iCloud and created a me.com email account. I can receive email address with the account, but I cannot send/reply to none of the messages. Each time I send one, I get an error, it says it can't connect to the server, and tells me to go to config the account, but I can't, because it's from iCloud!
I don't know if you got to understood me..
Thank you!

Hi All,
The only solution to this error is by calling iCloud support via express lane for iOS5. Once you get a representative, asked them to escalate you to the mobile me division. Only senior tech advisors can help. It seems the error is being caused by an aliases issue. Dont waist your time changing your settings. It wont fix it.
They need to reset your account and this will remove the user name/password/smtp server/ unknow user errors you are receiving!
PS: tech support from apple is free if you have a new iPhone 4S or applecare thats still valid. Since this is and iOS5 / iCloud issue, they are willing to assit for free.

Delete contacts from a deleted email account??? (sounds confusing I know)

This will require an explanation before I can get to my question so here I go. I have several email accounts that sync to my phone. I have now deleted one of my email accounts. The problem is that when I compose an email from any of the remaining email accounts still on my phone and start to type the name of the contact that I want to send the email to contacts from the deleted email account are still being displayed. I need to be able to remove the contacts from the deleted email account from my phone. These are contacts that are not part of my phone contacts. They are contacts that I have replied to from the deleted email account. If I have not clearly described my issue please let me know. Thanks for any suggestions anyone may have.

There is a system-wide email address cache. The only way to clear that cache is to perform a Restore via iTunes, and set your phone up as new (the list is backed up), meaning you'd need to reload all your content, redo your settings, etc.

How to delete EMAIL accounts

I am using Nokia E72. could you please suggest how to delete EMAIL accounts from Mobile

If the accounts have been set up with Nokia Messaging, then go to email.nokia.com, log in there with the details of the first account you set up, and then you can delete accounts you don't need.
Once done when the phone next syncs it will remove them from the phone.
If they are manually configured accounts, then on the phone, just go to Email->Settings-> scroll to the account -> Options -> Remove mailbox

How do I delete a MobileMe email account from iPad that has iCloud on it?

I Have an iPhone 4s that I installed iCloud on during the setup process. My iPhone, iPad and PC sync properly. However, my iPad email settings display both the MobileMe and iCloud accounts (with identical settings to each other). Sometimes, the iPad receives duplicate emails, but not all of the time. When I try to delete the MobileMe account through the iPad email settings, the delete/disable option does not appear. My iPhone and my PC, with Outlook email, only have one email account setup, iCloud. My PC is using Windows 7 (64bit) and Outlook 2010. So, how do I get the MobileMe off of my iPad?

Also FIXED, after reading Ned the Nerd's solution to delete the iCloud account, which is actually the account I wanted to keep. After I deleted the iCloud account in the Mail/Contacts/Calendar settings, I was able to go into the MobileMe account, turn everything off, and then I was asked if I wanted to delete the MobileMe account. After deleting the MobileMe account, I clicked back on the iCloud icon, still displayed in the settings, and logged back into iCloud. All of my email, contacts and caledars restored perfectly, and now there is only the one iCloud email account displaying in my email app. Thanks Ned!

How do I get to my backup on icloud after i deleted the account from my iphone?

So I couldn't log into my icloud account. It told me the password was incorrect even though I knew it wasn't. So I deleted the account and started a new one. That is when i realized my contacts has been erased. I did a back up with the old icloud account and read somewhere that I can log into that account on the computer even though I deleted the account from the phone. Unfortunately, It still says the password is incorrect and to reset the password, I need to access that email address. Does anyone know how to get my contacts back. I also heard that some people, after updating their iOS to the newest version lost their contacts so it may have been that. Either way I do not want to manually add over 200 contacts back to my phone so someone pleeeeeaaaaaasssssseeeeee help!!!!

Make sure there is a backup from yesterday.
First, make sure you have WiFi access.
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup
As long as iCloud backup is toggled "On'" you should see the date/time of the most recent backup.
If all is good, got to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings.
You'll be able to begin configuring the device the same way that you did on day one. At approximately the fourth step, make sure to select "Restore from iCloud Backup."
