E71 delete and renaming email accounts

Hi all,
Having had a few problems setting up my email account, I now have 3 different accounts, of which only 1 works.
How do I delete the unwanted accounts and how do I delete the remaining one to something more sensible?
Many thanks
MG

The iPad's Mail app has no provisions for creating groups. However, you can use a third party app that many users recommend.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

My Contacts are gone since I deleted and reentered email accounts

Our email accounts were having issues sending messages so I deleted both accounts then added them again. Now our Contacts are missing, however, when we enter an email address it is still somewhere but when we tap on the Contacts icon there is nothing there.

Did you have a backup of them in Time Machine or iTunes? If so, restore them. That's why they very clearly ask you to back up your information before setting up iCloud and before upgrading to iOS 5.
If not, check at icloud.com to see if they are located here. If they are not, try Apple Support through Express Lane (https://expresslane.apple.com) and see if they have the ability to restore them. Just don't expect them to.

All email contents are gone.tried deleting and adding email account but still no email contents

HOw can i fix this

I had the same problem on my iphone 4s and before I had realized it my phone synced up with my computer and deleted all the appointments in my outlook calendar as well. I run microsoft exchange and unfortunately my ISP doesnt backup for me so I am left reconstructing my calendar from scratch. Apple support said they had no idea why this had happened and couldnt help me. Not very reassuring.

My husband and I both have iPads and somehow when they were setup the both we're setup using the same email I'd address. When I go to delete and rename one iPad it says all info and pictures will be erased from my iPad. Is there a way to keep the info iPa

You can go to Settings/iCloud and delete the account, then create a new iCloud account. You can still use the same account for the app store though.

I have 2 email addresses set up on my iphone 5, 1 can send mail and the other can't... have tried deleting and adding the account, no luck, have tried all suggestions... anyone help?

I have recently purchased the iphone 5S and have two AOL email accounts set up on it. They could both receive and send mail on the first day, but from the second day only 1 can send mail (both still receive). I get an message saying "Unable to send mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed." This has been the response now for 3 days and suddenly this morning, I was able to send an email from this account, but only the one and now it's back to that same message. I have deleted and added the account again, using various methods. I even reset my phone and set it all up again from beginning with no luck. It is very frustrating and I am unsure why I can't send from both accounts, especially being that they are the same provider. I have read forums and it appears many have this same problem and I wondered if anyone has had it recently on this phone and how they fixed it. Someone said just use the AOL app to send from this account, yes that can be done, but it's inconvenient having to sign in all the time when i have a mail app that should work automatically. Any suggestions would be welcomed!!

I am not sure if this issue is going to help you but lets give it a try.
I know that where im from, which is the Netherlands, I am not able to sent e-mails from my iPhone or any other mobile device by using 3G or a random WIFI acces point. The provider only allowes you to sent e-mails when you are connected to a network of there own. Which means if you have provider "101" and your email settings are set up for this provider in your iPhone but your using the network of a friend of yours which is provider "202" you cannot sent emails from his network. Though you can receive them you may not sent.
As I said, I am not aware if this issue is the same for you totaly depents on the country and provider your using.

HELP!!! I deleted a POP email account w/4000+ messages in it and they disappeared

I have been told all my messages are gone forever but I find that just hard to believe. If this were a Windows machine I could recover them because it just deletes the first character in the name of the file. Am I to believe that Apple doesn't have something even remotely similar?
I have been able to recover a few hundred from my iPhone which also had access to the POP account but many years of emails are just not there.
I thought for sure I could delete the account and recreate it as I was making it an IMAP account but I'm having no luck getting most of my life for the past 4 years back. (And yes, I know, I should have backed up - but I hadn't in over a year.) Lazy I know so please don't rub it in.
I drove 100 miles to go to the Genius Bar at the Apple Store and that is how I learned to recover the ones on the phone but that was a painfully slow process of doing them pretty much one at a time because I'd select 50 or so and some would be able to be moved and some wouldn't - which was frustrating so I finally just went through and kept the ones that were most important.
Anyone got any good news or ideas for me to try?

Thomas,
"Note that you were warned that this would happen and approved it. When you delete an e-mail account in Mail, you are shown a message like the following:"
You didn't read my problem - I said I deleted a POP email account. I always read the messages that pop up and in Mail when you delete a POP account - IT DOESN'T TELL YOU NUTHIN! It just deletes it - which *** for me. Fortunately, I had an iPhone and on that device I had about a 1000 messages that I could recover but on all my POP accounts I download them from the server onto my Mac so they were only on Mail (the really old ones that I wanted to keep.) I had to move them into another directory one by one basically because when I would move 50 some of them would move and some wouldn't and I never did figure out that problem. Basically the ones that would not move are the ones that were associated with my domain changes with GoDaddy, and there were a lot of those. Have no idea as to why only those were resistant to moving but I can get all that data from GoDaddy anyway.
This thread is now moot seeing as how I've recovered everything I can and am going to just move on - and back up more often. ;-)
Apple and Mail need to rewrite that program to include a WARNING MESSAGE when deleting an Account in Mail that says ALL YOUR MESSAGES ARE GOING TO DISAPPEAR NEVER TO RETURN IF YOU DELETE THIS ACCOUNT, SO YOU DANG WELL BETTER HAVE A BACK UP IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ANYTHING BEFORE PRESSING THAT MINUS SYMBOL! ;-)

Can I retrieve contacts that I deleted from an email account on my IPhone that I no longer have access to? I have synced the contacts with my computer and have not synced since I deleted the mail account on my Iphone. Can I still retrieve the contacts?

This might be a problem as it is a company mail account that I no longer work for.
Could I...
Plug iphone into pc and click Restore in iTunes?
Then using ICloud, retrieve all the data lost in the restore?

I thought maybe you had a restriction set to Accounts but if you can get to the final screen that's not it. I'd try resetting the phone. First do a hard reset. Turn the phone off then press the Home button an Power button at the same time and hold for 10 seconds or so until the logo appears. If that doesn't work go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. That will basically restore the phone to a like new condition but keep your data, music, photos, etc. intact. Do a back up first though.

When attempting to open email I repeatedly get a message that my username or password is incorrect. I have tried everything to reconcile including deleting and reopening the account however nothing has worked.

If it is a POP account, there could be an issue with the outgoing server setting. It will not hurt to check this and make sure. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

How can I delete my iCloud email accounts?

How can I delete my iCloud email accounts? I no longer own any apple devices and find that the email is at best unreliable. Also, I am having to deal with a good portion of daily tasteless spam content at the original @me.com address. As I no longer have any apple devices I wouldn't mind having the whole iCloud account deleted. I have already erased all of my information from the icloud.com site.

Then that is all you can do.
You currently can not delete an iCloud account.

I have .me and .mac email accounts on my iPhone 4. I thought I had successfully transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, but something must be wrong. iCloud seems to work fine on my computer and, with the exception of two email accounts, seems to be fine on

I have .me and .mac email accounts on my iPhone 4. I thought I had successfully transitioned from MobileMe to iCloud, but something must be wrong. iCloud seems to work fine on my computer and, with the exception of two email accounts, seems to be fine on my phone. Can/should I delete the accounts on my phone and start over? It is somewhat of a nuisance to have two email accounts and double the amount of emails. The only thing different about the two iCloud accounts is the email addresses. Thanks.

Well, seems I managed to unscrew this...I deleted my iCloud mail account and reinstalled it on my phone. That got rid of the duplicate .me/.mac email accounts.

How do I delete an old email account that's associated with my Apple account? When trying to activate my Apple account my old email keeps popping

How do I delete an old email account that's associated with my Apple ID? When trying to login on to my Apple account with my ipad2 the old email account is still tagged as the primary account.

OK that's what Ithought you were talking about.
You can't actually delete an old Apple ID. You just sign into the new ID to use that one. Your old ID must be popping up because you used it in the past to purchase content with it. You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another Apple ID. You have to continue to use the old ID if you want to update content that was used to purchase with that ID.
Did you sign into your new account in the settings and you can't stay signed in?

How do I delete an old email account?

After change of internet service provider I need to delet an old email account. How can I do so?

In a similar problem, I have an old work email that is imported to mac mail / icloud. Following the advice above (
Mail Preferences/accounts, advanced tab and click disable this account.
You can re-enable this account to check for anything that may have come in there.) doesn't help because the only account that shows up is my icloud/mac account.
Any advice to no longer receive imported mail from the old work address?

How can I delete a old email account for my app's on the iPhone 4

How can I delete a old email account from my iPhone 4 so when I go into my app's and download it don't bring up the old account

Hi Shandra,
You have to open iTunes -> click iTunes Store and login with the old email and then logout -> Now login with the new email that you want and connect your iPhone via USB to your computer and synchronize your iPhone with new email.
I hope I've helped.
