Deleting .mac and .me email address, iCloud

I'd like to delete my .mac and .me email address. I frankly don't use them enough and am happy with my other email services. I remember this was available on the mobile me site. I'd also like to delete my iCloud account. How do I accomplish these task?

Anyone....

  • How do I delete old .mac and .me email addresses from the new iCloud email server?

    Now that I have iCloud, all the old .mac and .me email that I never used feeds through it.  Since there is no SPAM filter, I cannot block these emails from getting through and I get lots of spam now.   How do I delete the .mac and .me email addresses?
    Thanks.

    I  set the Rules months ago to automatically put all email sent to those email addresses in TRASH.  However, they still appear in my Mail Trash on my Mac.  Just an annoyance.    Thanks for the response.

  • I created an Apple ID for my daughter with her own gmail address, but I want her Apple ID and primary email address to be an iCloud email address. How can I do this? I can't set up an icould email address for her without first creating an Apple ID?

    I have created an Apple ID for my daughter with her own gmail address as the primary email address, but I want her Apple ID and primary email address to be an iCloud email address. How can I do this? I can't set up an icould email address for her without first creating an Apple ID right?
    I'm not good with computers so please explain in simple way...:)
    I also wonder what the best way is to set up accounts for children in a family. I dont want them to be able to purchase apps etc through the parents accounts, also some things we like to share as a family and others we don't want to share. Is there any good. clear, simple explanation from Apple Support about these issues? Or best to go to Apple store and go to genius bar or one to one advise?
    thanks

    You can set up an iCloud account which makes the iCloud email address you choose the Apple ID and thus the login for it:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/22283348#22283348
    though I have to say I think it's more sensible if the ID is another address, both for security reasons (so people don't know what the login is) and as a contact address from Apple if the account were to stop working and they needed to contact you. So personally I would to to System Preferences, enter the GMail address which is an ID, and then choose a nerw @icloud.com address.
    If she has her own iCloud account she will need either her own computer or her own user account on your Mac to be able to make use of it. You should note that under Apple's terms of use Apple IDs are only available to children of 13 and over.
    As to purchasing apps, this is nothing to do with iCloud: it's iTunes, and the login can be different. So you can all sign into the same iTunes account but have different iCloud accounts. Or she can have her own iTunes account if she is of suitable age (credit card needed for purchasing apps).
    If you have other children you should be aware that any one Mac or device can create only three iCloud accounts - this is tied to the serial number, not the user account, and once reached cannot be bypassed. You can of course sign into an iCloud account created on another device.

  • Problems with .mac and .me email accounts after iCloud

    For over a month I have been locked out of my .mac and .me email accounts on password issues involving iCloud.
    I must have changed (duly confirmed as valid by Apple) a dozen times my iCloud account password and duly updated it to the preferences of mail.
    Still, when I try opening the mail I am prompted to enter the password, which every time fails. Every time I follow the link to replace the pw, I do so, I get the OK from Apple and back to square one ....
    I tried talking to support, but after 40 minutes of waiting I was given an ineffectual tip that did not work. No intention of calling again.
    Can anyone please put an end to my suffering?
    (Yes, I can type. Yes, I have been using Apple computers since 1984. Yes, I regularly enter countless password protected sites, no problem)
    Thanks a lot,
    Luigi

    I understand that they're the same thing but they don't seem to be working like that at the moment... and this has been the case ever since transferring to iCloud.
    The problem I'm having is that if anyone emails my .mac address it returns to sender undeliverable, while the .me address works fine. Similarly, if I try to send an email using .mac it won't send it, but it will using .me. Most of my contacts have the .mac address so I'm not getting any emails.
    If anyone has any advice I'd be most grateful.

  • ICloud email address asApple ID and Primary Email Address

    why can't i use my icloud email address, as my applie ID and primary email address and use it to sign in to itunes?

    I'd like to know the answer to this problem as well. My Apple ID changed, however my iphone still has the previous appearing in sign into iCloud. It's greyed out, so i can't change it. If I want to delete the account, which I have tried, it wants the password for the old Apple ID.

    Is there a way I can delete my primary @me email address so that I can receive emails only via my "reserved" @icloud address. eg. delete "msjones@me" and receive emails via "msjones@icloud" only.The reason being, I receive a fair bit of spam to my @me address. Going forward I plan on using an alias for certain websites to minimise this problem.

    You can't delete the address, but you can set up a Rule to move messages to that address to the Trash or another folder. Go to http://icloud.com and go to the Mail page, click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose 'Rules'.
    It's a bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - even though in fact you haven't posted them in full; I've asked the hosts to remove them.

    I went to the Apple store and asked for help with iCloud. When I got home I realized that all my sent emails and random email addresses were gone. One of these missing emails was a list of publications that I send Press Releases to for clients. I have Time Machine, how do I go back and retrieve either the email list or an old email to this group?

  • HT5330 If I move from Mac/Mobile Me email to iCloud, will my current account's email vanish?

    Probably a silly question. I am running Snow Leopard and for a couple of days have not been able to send mail from my long-time Apple email account.  I have started the move from Mac/Mobile Me email to iCloud, when all I really need is to enable the iCloud SMTP server, I think.   
    When  I was a few steps into the move, I reached the point where I had to either "continue" with my current email address/password, or create a new email account   If I follow Apple's direction and "add" an account with my core user info, will I end up with "my" account as iCloud, but with my current account's email "vanished?" 
    I go back far enough that my Apple user name is not an email address, and my email address is dot.Mac, and I'd like to keep it that way, but right now I just want to be able to "send."  Since my problem began I have been writing and then saving emails on my iMac, then opening them on my iPad or iPhone and sending the emails from those devices.  Thank heaven for IMAP!!!!
    Thanks,
    Laura

    [email protected] [email protected] and [email protected] are all the same thing: emails to all three go to the same inbox. You must presumably have gone through the migration process from MobileMe to iCloud before 1 August last, or you would have lost access to the account. However if you didn't set up Mail for the different iCloud server settings I wouldn't have expected to go on working this long.
    In any case, I would suggest you delete the account from Mail (this won't delete anything on the server) and set it up again from scratch following the process described in this illustrated article:

  • Ical sending emails from old email alias that was deleted, or from another email address

    iCal, when I send a meeting invite is sending from an email alias that I no longer have. It was originally sending from one of my other email accounts, however, after deleting that account from my mac, iphone, ipad it now send from an email alias that no longer exists.
    Information that could help.
    1. I had DotMac and then MobileMe and now iCloud
    2. I had 5 email aliases when on MobileMe
    3. I deleted three of them after arriving to iCloud
    Things I have done
    1. Delted the other email account that it was sedning from.
    2. Deleted my iCloud accout on the computer, and then set it up again
    3. Deleted "My Address Book Card" and setup a new one for myself and indicated that was my card
    4. Deleted ALL but one email address on that card
    5. I am running latest updates of MacOS and all updates on iOS devices
    HELP... it looks very unprofessional to be getting email addressses from an account that they cannot repond to.
    Where it Gets Weird
    1. They can accept the meeting invite and it wll record it as accepted
    2. But they cannot contact me at that email alias.

    I have the same problem -- the ical event alert notification goes to an email address from a previous correspondent.  I have deleted his name from previous recipients, I have deleted his card from contacts, I have checked all the places where I am the default email and that appears okay.  BUT STILL his email shows up in ical's alert notification.  HELP!

  • How can I change my iPad iTunes email address to match my mac pro iTunes email address.

    My iPad iTunes email address is different from my Mac pro iTunes email address.  Tried changing my iPad meal address to match my Mac pro and said I could not.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are using different Apple IDs for each device, this implies that you have different accounts on each. Unfortunately you cannot merge accounts or transfer content between them.
    If all you wish to do is to use the account that you use on your MacBook Pro for your iPad, then you need to delete or sign out of your iTunes & app stores App on your iPad and then login again with your other account details. Obviously you will then no longer be able to use the purchases you have made from the account you have logged out of.

  • Is there a way to fix the change in copy and pasting email addresses?

    In the past, whenever I've copied and pasted email addresses, for example, copying the email address from one email into a form field on a Web page, Address Book, or even the search field in Mail, only the email address would get pasted in. Now, since I've upgraded to Snow Leopard, it seems, the name and email address is getting pasted in like this: "NYTimes.com" <[email protected]>.
    It seems when pasted into the search field like this, even Mail has trouble finding other emails with the same address, which is often what I use it for. Is there a settings fix for this or am I just going crazy?
    Thanks,
    Bob

    I found it in Mac tips
    Thankfully, Apple included a hidden preference to revert to the 10.5 behavior of copying only the e-mail address. Quit Mail if it’s running, then enter this command in Terminal (in Applications -> Utilities):
    defaults write com.apple.mail AddressesIncludeNameOnPasteboard -bool NO
    Restart Mail, and Copy Address will once again do just what it says, which is the preferred behavior for my use of Mail. If you try this and decided you prefer the default version, quit Mail and run this command in Terminal:
    defaults delete com.apple.mail AddressesIncludeNameOnPasteboard
    Thanks to the fine folks at ecamm network for digging this one out and writing about it on their blog.
