How can I manage my icloud mail account on my iPad since my apple id user is my gmail account?

Hello,
I'm unable to send and receive mails from my icloud account since when when trying to add this mailbox to my account IOS pops a message that says the my gmail account is already added.
My apple user ID is my gmail account, could this be the problem?
How can I be able to manage my icloud account in my iPad?
Regards,
DM

Let's try deleting the iCloud account from your iPad, then adding it back.
If you have any photo stream photos on your iPad, save them to your camera roll by opening your My Photo Stream alburm, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll.  The force close the Mail app by double-tapping the home button, locating Mail in the list at the bottom, tap and hold Mail until it wiggles, tap to close it, then tap the home button agian.
Then to delete the iCloud account go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted.  This only deletes the account and your iPad data from your iPad, not from iCloud.  Then go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in and turn on your sync settings, confirming that Mail is set to On.  Your iCloud data will reappear on your iPad after a brief delay as it redownloads.  Open Mail and see if your iCloud account is there now.

    how can i change my icloud mail address.
    thanks

    You can't change the name of your @me.com or @icloud.com address, but you can set up an alias with a different name that will still deliver email to your iCloud inbox.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

  • HT204053 How can I change the iCloud id associated with my iPad?

    How can I change the iCloud ID associated with my iPad?

    To change the ID for:
    iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
    FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
    iTunes, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Store.
    iCloud, start by saving your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening your My Photo Stream album, tap Select, tap all the photos you want to save, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.  This will delete the account and iCloud data from your phone but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a new account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.  However, if you are setting up a new account with a new ID, when you delete the account be sure to choose Keep on My iPad, then choose Merge when you sign into the new account to upload your data.

  • How can I find my iCloud mail on my iPad?

    Can't find my iCloud mail on my iPad.

    If you have Settings > iCloud > Mail set 'on' then it should appear in the Mail app. If you are in a different email account in the Mail app then you can navigate up by tapping on the account name at the top left of the Inbox column, and you can then navigate down.

  • HT2954 How can I access my imac mail from a different computer other than Apple?

    How can i access my imac email from a differnt computer other than
    apple?

    If you are using IMAP mail connection (IMAP keeps the  mail on the server), then you just configure the other computer's mail client to access the same account.
    If you are using a POP mail connection, then the mail is generally downloaded to your Mac and deleted from the server.  That is a much more difficult problem to solve.  NOTE:  Google's gmail does have a POP option that does NOT delete the mail on the server, so it is accessible via the gmail web page.
    A lot depends on what you are using for your mail service and whether you are using IMAP or POP protocols.

    the answer to my problem right here thanks to Ironboots
    I went to Facetime settings and provided my current Apple Id and password then went to Icloud settings and used my current password on the old account email and it accepted it. Then proceeded to delete old account and then logged in using new account. The same password worked in both accounts. Problem solved, no more annoying pop ups urging me to log in to icloud while using my iphone.

  • How can I chane my icloud mail user name

    I Change my email for my Apple ID bit I can't change my iCloud email username  tot new apple idea user name

    Hi Horacio,
    You need to follow these instructions to get your updated ID signed into iCloud:
    1.     Go to Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your new ID. EDIT the ID back to the old email address. This is temporary. Do NOT VERIFY it, do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
    2.     Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and click on Delete Account. When it asks you for a password, type in your current password. Follow the prompts to delete the account.
    YO
    3.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID and log in with the old ID and current password, and EDIT the ID back to the new ID. You may have to verify it again.
    4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your new ID
    You should be all set!
    Cheers,

  • How can i change my e-mail address on an iPad for my iTunes account?

    I posted this notice so that I could pass on this fantastic solution.  I was almost driven crazy until I stumbled upon the answer.  VarReal was the one who gave me the correct answer.  I didn't have to erase thing.  Here's how it's done for an iPad:
    1. Go to Settings
    2. Find the iTunes & App Store Icon and click on the icon
    3. You should see your apple ID...click on the ID and a window will come up
    4.The window should have a list......one option is to sign out...do so.
    4. Now you have to sign in so that you can access your App or iTunes...fill in the new apple Id and password and sign in.
    5. Yippie, you're done!!
    Soooooooooooooooooo simple!!!!!!!!

    I think this may be what you want. Open iTunes go to Store in the menu bar. At the bottom choose *View MY Account*. This will let you sign into your account and you can then pick *Edit Account Info* Make you change and save it. That should take care of it.

  • How can i change my iCloud email when i don't know previous apple id password

    my little brother and i share the same apple id and he messed with everything and i am unable to get on my old apple id so i made a new one but i can't delete it off my phone and i can't change my email for iCloud because i can't get on my old apple id

    You need to get the previous Apple ID password reset. The only way to do that is to log onto Manage your Apple ID  and click on Reset Password for the Apple ID you need to sign off of the device:
    Apple - My Apple ID
    You will have to answer the Security Questions. If you do not know the answers, you will have to have Apple Support reset them for you:

    How can I hide my e-mail???

    Hi, Smittycoco, and welcome to the Community,
    Your Skype account's registered e-mail address is not displayed anywhere.  You are the only one who can see it.  You may, however, remove e-mail addresses from your Profile settings -- even though e-mail addresses added there are again only viewable by you (private) and used only as a way for your friends, family, and colleagues to locate you on Skype.
    If there is something I am mistaking or missing, please do post back with a screen shot where you are seeing your e-mail address displayed.  Please, redact or 'white out' any personal information before uploading your screen shot.
    Regards,
    Elaine
