Duplicate mail accounts after converting to icloud from mobile me

Anyone else having problems with their iPhone 4s after converting from mobile me to iCloud?
I did the conversion and everythign works, except I cannot get my old mobile me mail account to go away on my iPhone.
I've deleted it from the accounts section of settings, but I still have an old mobile me mailbox that is showing the exact same thing as my iCloud mailbox.
It's like a mirror mail account that won't go away!
I just did a complete factory reset and updated to iOS 5, but it's still showing up.

Many thanks for the suggestion, I copied the messages in the iCloud mailboxes to new boxes "On My Mac".
As suggested here I then unchecked the "Mail and Notes" item in the iCloud pane in System Prefs on the iMac, iCloud then disappeared from my mailboxes. I then unchecked the "Enable this Account' box in Mail Prefs for the Mobiel Me a/c.
After checking the "Mail and Notes" item in the iCloud pane in System Prefs the iCloud boxes reappeared in Mail. I then deleted the Mobile Me a/c in Mail.
Seems a bit of a rigmarole! but it worked!

  • I converted to iCloud from mobile me, how do I find my documents?

    I converted to iCloud from mobile me, how do I find my documents?  Apple support said I should upgrade to Mountain Lion but still can't figure out how to get to my documents - any ideas?

    Can you please explain further, I don't understand - I don't know what you mean by iDisk?
    Then we are talking at cross purposes. The iDisk was part of MobileMe - online storage for files. You would know if you'd uploaded files there because you had to do it manually. Your mention of iCloud in the original post implied that this might have been the case, but from what you now say I gather that this is nothing to do with online storage. That's a relief.
    The first part of my original answer is relevant where iWork and TextEdit files are concerned. As far as other files are concerned, iCloud doesn't come into it.
    Your files will be wherever you saved them, probably in the Documents folder. You will probably find it simpler to deal with this if instead of using the Documents icon in the Dock you start with a Finder window. In the sidebar you should see a 'Documents' icon - click this once to open the folder. You can now see the folders in it and look for your files.
    Is this not the apple support team?
    This is a user-to-user forum. To contact Support, go to http://expresslane.apple.com and work through the subjects. Unless you have AppleCare as a result of your having recently bought hardware they will probably want to charge you for a consultation.There are also contact details in the link at the bottom right of this page, though you probably won't find telephone support.

  • My .me mail account has converted to iCloud. My desktop Mac will not recognize the password. Any resetting makes no difference. Should I delete the mailbox and reload it?

    My Mail application on my desktop iMac has converrted my original .me account to an iCloud account. It keeps asking for the password and rejects the original one. I've tried changing the password and it still rejects it. I've tried using my Apple ID password and that is rejected too.  Should I just delete this mailbox. And then reset it up with new account information?  Then would I lose all the e-mails or will they "reappear"?   Thanks for any tips!

    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.

  • I have duplicate mail accounts and deleted messages keep redownloading in gmail

    I am using Mountain Lion and I have a me.com email account, gmail account, and sbcglobal.net account.  I set up my accounts in iMail and I use iCloud, but now I have duplicate mail accounts and every time I delete messages from my gmail account, the next time I go into Mail, all the deleted messages are back in my gmail account.  How do I stop this from happening and how do I make it so that I don't have duplicates of everything!

    All 3 email accounts show up under Inbox, but all three also show up as iCloud, sbcglobal.net, and gmail.  The iCloud account will occasionally get duplicates, the sbcglobal.net account only gets mail that sbcglobal.net has put into a "bulk" folder and seems to be all junk mail and does not show up in the sbcglobal.net inbox account and the gmail shows up in both places, but I can delete messages in the gmail inbox account and they do not download again, but the second gmail account is the one that keeps redownloading the already deleted messages into the gmail "all mail" folder.  I have tried deleting the gmail account and have gone to gmail's help page, but they are behind with set up for Mac Mail.  The set up is for Mail 3.0 and not 6.2.  It keeps downloading over a thousand emails into this gmail "all mail" folder.  Is there any way to stop this?

  • HT5225 I have an imac 24 , imac 27, mac book pro, airbook and Iphone 3G.  I have switched to icloud from mobile and all the computers synch with each other but data entered from my iphone in ical won't sync to the other computers.

    Is there a setting on the iphone that will allow ical entries on the iphone to sink to my other computers
    Thank-you

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • I have an iPhone 3G, how do I upgrade to iCloud from Mobile Me?

    I have an Iphone 3G, how do I upgrade to iCloud from Mobile Me? I want to switch over before the deadline so that I can maintain my email address. I also have a Mac Book Pro, but don't have the correct operating system. Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You cannot use iCloud with a iPhone 3G.

  • Will I still recieve emails from my old email account after creating an iCloud email account on my devices?

    After creating an iCloud email will I still recieve emails from my old email account account on my devices?

    If the old email account is a non-iCloud email account, then yes.  You will continue to receive email from your old account as long as it is still set up in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars.
    However, if the old email account is an iCloud email account, you will have to add it back on your devices in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, then sign in with your old iCloud account IC, in order to continue to receive it on your devices.  If you do this, the old email will be fetch only, not push.

  • Mail in iOS 7 changes default mail account after entering addresses?

    I just noticed that the Mail app in iOS 7 changes the sent from email address from my default to another account I have after entering in the send to address. When I first create the new email the correct default email address is showing (iCloud) but after I add any send to address it changes to another account (Hotmail) as the sent from account.
    I checked my settings and iCloud is still set as the default account, I can click and change it before sending the email but I think this may be a bug unless there is something I missed.
    Anyone else have this problem?

    Oh, and just to add, whilst under Settings > Mail it does indeed state 'default mail account to use when an application outside of mail attempts to send mail'.  However also when you are in the Mail app and on the main screen where you can see all your mailboxes, the Mail App also needs a 'default' account, and in my experience/opinion this is pulled from the Default account within Settings > Mail rather than which ever mailbox is top of the list within the Mail app (didnt work for me!)
    But regardless, I have sent an email from an app outside of Mail and the issue is encountered:-  I have my virgin.net as my default email (via Settings > Mail).  I go into the Photo app, and select a photo to email.  My virgin.net email is showing in the From box - so far so good.  I select an email address for the To box.  My From email address switches to my iCloud.com address.  So this is the bug.  It should not be doing this.  This is the same issue it seems encountered by the original member of this thread.  Anyone know how you alert Apple to bugs in their software?

  • Duplicate mail accounts on iPad

    Please help, I have duplicate email accounts on my iPad and not sure how it they got there or how to fix it.  This happened after I synced my ipad with my itunes account on my Mac. I use sbcglobal for my email and when I go into my mail it lists sbcglobal.net twice under "inboxes".  Underneath that it shows sbcglobal.net twice under "accounts". Not sure what I did but I would like to undo it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Go to Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Your email account. Tap the account and then tap Delete account. Just delete one of the accounts.
    When you sync again, uncheck the option to sync email counts in the Info pane in iTunes.

  • Accessing mail account after 2.2 update -takes me to iPhone home

    Anyone else having this problem or know how it is resolved?
    I have just updated and have 3 email accounts which I have never had any problem with.
    Tonight (UK) after the update one of my accounts canot be accessed. When I select inbox (where there is unread mail) the email program closes and takes me to Iphone home where I can see all applications. I can access the the sent email and trash but not inbox.
    Hopefully it's a quick fix as I need access to email duing the week!

    So- went into mail account and switched off all mail. This meant I could get into mail (but obviously no mail visible) swithched them back on one at a time and pop email was the problem. Deleted pop account and set up again - but still same problem-says 1 mail in account (but there isn't) and when I select the 1 mail it crashes back to home page?
    So 2 out of 3 accounts are working and one is locked (ntl)...

  • Why there are duplicate mail accounts in Mailbox?

    Somehow the mail accounts in Mailbox of my iPhone 5 have been duplicated, so whenever there is a new E-mail, the unread E-mail number is doubled. This is what shows in the Mailbox.
    As shown above, the Yahoo! mail and Gmail are duplicated, and I could not remove them with Edit. Anyone knows why this happens, and how I should remove the dplicate mail accounts here?

    I have the same problem with my iPhone 4.  The duplicate also appears on my MacBookPro.  Have not found the solution yet.
