How to delete icloud email account and get a new one

I have been getting alot of unwanted email in my icloud account. Is there anyway to deelte an icloud email and start a new one??

You can't delete it, but you can create an email alias address to use that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a.  Just be aware that an alias address cannot later be used to create a new iCloud account or be moved to a different account.
After creating your alias, you can set up an email rule at icloud.com that will send email addressed to your main iCloud email addres to the trash or junk folder, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a3f8a.

    how to delete iCloud email address and not iCloud service.
    It is very anoying that I can't cancel icloud email address. Can someone help me?

    You can't delete either the account or the email address. If you are getting messages to it you don't want to see, go to http://icloud.com and to the Mail page: click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Rules'. Then set up a Rule to move all messages to your address to the Trash.

    You can go to icloud.com, open Mail, click on the gear shaped icon on the upper right and choose preferences, go to the Vacation tab and set up an auto response saying that the account is no longer in use.  Then go to Settings>iCloud and turn Mail to Off on your device and stop using the account.
    Incoming email to the account will receive your vacation auto response, and eventually the mailbox will fill up and no longer receive mail at all.

  • HT2623 How do I delete my icloud email address and create a new one?

    How do I delete my icloud email address and create a new one?

    You can't, except by creating a new iCloud account.  But you can create an @icloud.com email alias address to use that will receive email in your current inbox (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622).  (Note: alias addresses cannot later be used to create a new iCloud account, nor can they be moved to another account or be reactivated should you ever delete them.)

  • HT5621 I recently changed my Apple ID but my cloud backup keeps asking for password to my old Apple ID.  If I go in and delete my cloud account and create a new one will I lose everything or does the cloud follow my new ID when I set it up?

    I recently changed my Apple ID but I keep getting messages from my Cloud account asking for my password to my old Apple ID.  If I go in and delete the current Cloud account that appears to still be associated with my old ID and set up new one with my current ID will I lose all the stuff in the Cloud?

    Did you just change the address or did you create a new Apple ID.

  • How to delete duplicate Skype account and get cred...

    I am a returning Skype user. I could not find my old Skype account. So, I signed up for a new account yesterday.  I paid for some credit with my credit card. Then, I found the old account which I prefer to use is still available.  Now, I need help cancelling the new account I just added and getting a refund of the credit I purchased. I am not able to access the new account as Skype does not recognize my name, password and email address. I have tried to get in touch with Skype Customer Service to no avail. Could someone advise me on how to proceed?  Thank you endlessly

  • HT4436 How can I change my Icloud account's name? Do I need to delete the old account and create a new one? And all this without loosing my data...

    I want to create a new email address/additional cloud account and move all my data to the new acccount. How can I do it?

    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone.  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.
    This will not move your photo stream, however.  If you have photos in photo stream that you haven't backed up anywhere else you will need to save these before deleting the account.  If your computer is syncing with your iCloud account, your can photo stream photos directly to your computer.  If not, open your photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap the share arrow button, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  Once in the camera roll you can import them to your computer.

  • How can I delete my itunes account and create a new one ?

    Hi Everyone
    I've got a problem with my current account itunes (french) :
    I'm between France and Spain. I usaully use french applications but I would like to be able to pick some apps in the spanish itunes store, and in the english one (such as i already do in the french one). Lately I change my payment data to my spanish visa card data, since then I cannot download any app anymore.
    So I tried to create a new account in the itunes store choosing the spanish location, but it s not possible since my actual email adress is the back up email adress of my french account .
    Can you please provide me some support ?
    A good day to you all.
    Audrey

    You can access www.appleid.apple.com and open your old account and delete.

  • My password keeps getting hacked, how can i disable my account and start a new one and not lose all the stuff I already have?

    Hi All,
    I need help, my password keeps getting hacked, and I keep changing the password, and changing all my security questions. I have changed everything I can. How can I disable my account, but not lose everything that I already have in there? Is this possible or do I have to start all over again?

    You might have some better luck if you call your country number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask to speak with the Account Security Team.

  • Can i delete my admin account and make a new one?

    i want to start a new account cos i have so much rubbish on my current one. i have worked out how to make new accounts but cant work out how to delete my main (current) admin account?
    any help would be great. thanks.

    Create a new account with Admin privileges.
    Backup important files (Documents, Music, etc).
    Log out of current account.
    Log into new admin account.
    When you are sure you have backed up and moved everything over, you can then delete the old previous admin account. You can have more than one admin account so it's not necessary to delete immediately. Actually, it's not a bad idea to have another backup admin account for troubleshooting purposes.
    Be advised though that you'll have to have separate names for each account.

  • I want to delete my ichat account and make a new one

    i just got my mac and made a ichat account. i think i messed uo because i had used two different emails. i tried to add my friend but everytime it said waiting for authorization and it keep saying i was offline. i was wondering if there was any was i could fix this problem. PLEASE HELP SOMEONE!

    Hi,
    You haven't added any Spec for your machine or iChat version but you seem to imply it is new so I will presume Lion and iChat 6
    iChat can use  4 types of names and some of those have sub-categories if you like.
    In the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts you should have at least the Bonjour Option in the list even if you have no other accounts.
    This is used between Macs on your LAN.
    If they are using iChat and have Bonjour Enabled then you will see their Name as they call themselves in their Address Book. iChat will broadcast your Name as at the My Card in your Address Book (Head and Shoulders icon card).
    iChat can join the AIM service and these can be one of three (sub) type of  Names, although the Buddy list can have Buddies of each type.
    You can register at AIM themselves, with @Mac.com and use a MobileMe name (Ending @Me.com)
    Generically the Account/Buddy List is referred to as an AIM list as @Mac.om and MobileMe names are Valid AIM Screen Names
    iChat can use Jabber Names/IDs. These include Google and there is an Option with iChat 4 onwards to use this a a separate sub category when adding an Account to iChat (In creating a BUddy List)
    A Jabber ID can add Goolge Buddies or a Google Buddy List can have Jabber Buddies.
    iChat 6 adds the ability to use a Yahoo ID as well.
    Although the Yahoo for Mac App (it is still in Beta) can add MSN contacts this cannot be done in iChat.
    Adding Buddies.
    In an "AIM" List you can add Buddies by clicking the Plus icon at the Bottom of the Buddy List and selecting Add Buddy
    You type the Buddy's name in full (As in [email protected], or [email protected] or the AIM name that the persons tells you (it may not be an Email) )
    Allowing or Blocking a Buddy is then done in the iChat Menu Preferences > Accounts > Security tab.
    With a Jabber/Google List  you have to Authorize the Buddy as you Add them. A Person has to be in th Buddy List rather than allowing or Blocking them later.
    To be more precise a Request to Authorize is sent to the Buddy and they either Accept or Deny.
    In iChat 3 through 5 this needed to be done when the Buddy was On Line as iChat does not repeat the Request.   From what you post it seems this has not changed in iChat 6
    (Other Jabber apps continually send the request until such time as the person actually sees the request and does something about it.)
    So it may not be that the Name is "Wrong" or that you have set up your account incorrectly.
    I have no info on setting up a Yahoo account at present or how Buddies are added for Allow/Block Authorise or not.
    What you cannot do is use an AIM Account to add Google or Jabber buddies to (Or vice versa) even though on the whole the naming formats (email Style IDs) applies to both.
    AIM Registrations ask for a second email for Password recovery
    @mac.com Registrations require a second email to Verify the Apple ID you are creating (It happens to be an Valid AIM screen Name as well  (@mac.com look like email but are not so you cannot verify them back through @mac.com as it were).
    The Waiting for Authorisation message only comes from a Google Talk ID or a Jabber Buddy List.
    It will show if you add an AIM valid Name or if the Buddy is Off Line and not seeing the Request to answer it.
    Example iChat 4 pic
    (not sure why I had these to options crossed out but I may have been talking about iChat 3 when I used it)
    Obviously iChat 6 has Yahoo as well.

  • How to save old email database, and make a new one

    can anybody please lead me to a direction sheet for saving your old email database, making a new one, and then importing the old messages into the new database?
    thanks in advance

    I have been trying to figure out why my mac mail will start to down load, and then it stops. I have 50 messages that i'm trying to POP and it start out fine, then after 10 or so messages it stops. i have tried to delete the messages from the server to see if there is some specific message that is causing problems to no success.
    so now i'm trying to just remove the old Messages and start a new mail data file from scratch. then move the old messages into it, that is if it can be done.
