Email deleted in iOS device still shows up in POP3 download
This started with the upgrade to both iOS 5 and iCloud. I was previously using MobileMe, .Mac prior to that, and iTools before that. The whole time I've been using Entourage to download my email from Apple's servers without incident (account setup for POP3). A few years ago I bought an iPod Touch, running iOS 3.x, and using the built-in MobileMe account setup I was able to delete emails via that device and they would not show up on the POP3 download to Entourage. This function continued with the addition of other iDevices and software upgrades (iOS 4.x). However, with the transition to iOS 5 and iCloud the emails that get deleted on any of my iDevices (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) still show up in my POP3 download. What's interesting is that they are removed from the other iDevices when deleted from any one of them (they're all on the same account and have been for over a year). I've tried to find a setting that will bring back this function without any success.
I might have figured this out on my own (with help of scouring other discussion pages). It would seem that Entourage is using the old MobileMe servers which receives the email traffic along with iCloud (i.e. two copies). That's why my mail appears in my POP3 download even after deleting on my iOS devices (which are using the iCloud servers exclusively). There doesn't appear to be any "syncing" occurring between the MobileMe and iCloud servers once the email has been delivered to each server.
I guess I have until June 2012 to figure out what I'm going to do with Entourage. I tend to hang on to email for a while and I don't really like the idea of it being out on Apple's servers for that amount of time. I believe there is a way to configure an IMAP account to download off the server and keep a local copy. I'm going to need to look into that.

How do I clean up mail in my icloud? I have already deleted old mail (from all my e-mail accounts) on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much room). When I go to manage storage on any device & it will display how much room each program or app is using, it still shows that my e-mail is taking up the most room. Is there a way to actually log on to the icloud server to manage what it stored there? If so, how do I do it? Also, on a related subject, why does my mail not sync accross all devices? ie. when I delete an email on one device, why do I still see it on all my other devices? How can I change this?

I do have the Time Capsule and spoke to Apple Care here in Sydney about it yesterday. They told me my mail is not backed up there unless I create a special folder. I just tried ringing them again but Apple Care is closed today...
Mail is backed up automatically. If you make backups automatically, open Mail application and then, open the Time Machine app (in /Applications/Utilities). You will access to the Time Machine interface, and you will be able to see all your mails of all the backups you have, and you will be able to restore them. It means that your mails are backed up onto the Time Capsule -
My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it. My password doesn't work with the old email address. When I look for my old email address in the Apple ID support area it says that the ID doesn't exist. Help!!!
You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials. This deletes the account and your synced data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

Is there a way to coordinate email on your computer and on your iphone? When I delete email on my computer it still shows up as unread on my phone.
It depends on the type of email account you are using, POP3 or IMAP. This article explains the differences: http://mail2web.com/blog/2010/02/pop-imap-difference/

My mail program does not update when I delete emails in my other email programs (i.e. it still shows messages in my mail inbox when I've deleted them). I think this started with Maverick? Any solutions?
one is gmail, one is a university email and they are both IMAP accounts (not that I know what that means)....

Tried out some apps, then deleted them. They still show in App Store/iPad Apps/Purchased section. How to delete from there?
You can't currently permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't appear on the Purchased tab : hiding and unhiding. As your iPad is on iOS 6 then you will need to do the hiding via your computer's iTunes, it doesn't currently work directly on iOS 6 devices

How can iTunes-synched photos be deleted from iOS devices if the iTunes computer is no longer available?
This can happen because the iOS device is on travels distant from the iTunes computer, because the iTunes computer is on travels distant from the iOS device, because the iTunes computer has failed permanently, because the iTunes computer has been stolen, etc.KRDHarris-
The only possibility I can think of, is to consult with an Apple Store Genius. See if there is some kind of Apple proprietary software or diagnostic tool that can do it.
I do not think you want to, but you could go to Settings-General-Reset-Erase All Content and Settings. If you decided to do that, you might be able to restore from a previous backup when you get home.

I have an iPhone 5. It says I have 537 songs on it but every song shows the cloud icon. I have gone through every suggested step I've googled and deleted songs but settings still shows them. When it's plugged into my mac itunes shows it only has 42 songs.

How do I unlock my email in my iPad? The grouped email page (I have 3 accounts) shows an item as downloading, but never makes any progress. I also can't get to Mail, Contacts, etc. under Settings. Have reset the device numerous times.
There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them: -
Season pass notice does not always download. It does not appear in the purchased items. I am responding to an email stating 'this week's TV show is ready for download'. Any suggestions?
Been having the same problems all week. And am got a generic, not-at-all-helpful response from my initial inquiry with support, then absolutely no response to my follow-up requests. There seem to be a fair number of people posting this problem, so not sure why we're being ignored.
Was able to eventually download the episodes manually via the 'purchased' link, but it's about 10 more steps than normal.
Also noticed that itunes isn't recognizing my purchases at all, not just season passes. If I go to a page of a show where I buy episodes individually, it doesn't show which episodes I have previously bought like it used to. -

ICloud email alias deletion vs iOS device
When you delete (or mark disable) an alias in iCloud.com, how long before that alias dissappears from the list of choices when using iPhone or iPad? I know on your iOS device, you can go into icloud-settings-advanced and toggle each one off from there (which seems not to reflect the choices you made on iCloud.com, but will they ever sync up so deleted/disabled alias's will stop showing up as a choice to send mail on your iOS device?
It's easy.
I suppose you are using Mail as your mail application, so open it. Then, go to Mail menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > Accounts, and choose your iCloud account in the sidebar. After that, you should see an "Alias" option, so press it and you will see your @icloud.com and @me.com addresses. Choose the @icloud.com email address, and you will be using this mail account on your Mac.
However, you can't remove a @me.com email address from iCloud -
