HT201309 delete an icloud email account

How can you delete an icloud email account off of your iphone?  It is separate from my apple id.

Is the iCloud email part of a separate apple id, or an apple id of its own?  You can sign out of it from settings >> iCloud.
If the iCloud email address was made by turning on Mail in the iCloud prefs, you can simply go to Settings >> iCloud and turn off mail.

  • 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.

  • TS4002 How do I delete my iCloud email account?

    How do I delete my iCloud email account?  I do not want it.  Apple now is forcing its use where before it was using my Windows Mail.  for example, I have iCloud installed on my Windows 8 PC.  I am sharing Contacts with my iPads and iPhones.  I use to be able to to open Contacts on my PC and click on an email address and the Windows Live Mail program using my primary email account would open to compose and send a message to the Contact's address.  Now when I click on an email address iCloud Mail opens.  So, I want to delete the iCloud mail account since I will not be using it and hopefully Contacts will again default to my real mail.

    Finally, you have answered my question!
    I told you that you cannot delete an iCloud email account in my second reply, immediately after you clarified that you were referring to iCloud.com, not the Windows Live Mail application you actually mentioned in your first post. I also provided a link to instructions showing you how to restore the connection between Windows Contacts and Windows Live Mail.
    I cannot help but note that it is absolutely absurd to not allow the deletion of an email account in an ISP or Cloud environment.
    Tell Apple at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html then. Nobody here can do anything about that.
    You don't listen we'll, or read carefully for understanding before jumping to conclusions.
    You are unable to describe a problem accurately or coherently, or read and comprehend the simple answers you receive.
    I seriously wonder if you knew an iCloud email account could not be deleted.
    I seriously wonder if you can read - since I told you exactly that in my second reply.
    Rest assured that these exchanges will be brought to Apple Support management attention.
    This is a user-to-user support forum. You are not conversing with Apple Support staff here, so their management will not care. However, feel free to show them so they can see how quickly I answered your questions after you clarified exactly what you were asking.
    I wish I could offer you personal counseling in an effort to help you overcome these limitations that will likely stifle your career.
    Don't worry, I wouldn't accept it anyway, as you have no idea what my career is. However, I do have something that would definitely help you... Go here and treat yourself: http://www.readingglasses.com/

    Wow, that's unbelievable! You'd literally never guess... Anyway, another "achievement" you can blow your own trumpet for is choosing the most apt username for yourself I think I have ever seen on these forums. Well done!

  • I need help to delete my iCloud email account.

    Where can I contact when I need to ask Apple deleting my iCloud email account? And please tell me how to remove the iCloud email from my iPhone! Thank you!

    You cannot delete an iCloud account from the server, but you can remove it from your phone by going to Settings>iCloud and clicking 'Delete Account' (this does not remove the account from the server).
    You should then go to http://icloud.com and delete any data there you want to, and then just ignore it.

  • How do I delete the Icloud email account

    Hello, I am looking to delete my Icloud email account, Please advise

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.

  • Can I delete an iCloud email account?

    I like iCloud but it confuses the **** out of me. I want to just get rid of it and maybe start fresh later on. I switched mobile me  over to iCloud (more than one email) and iCloud list the wrong one as primary. mobile me was aliases  emails iCloud isn't the same .......Confused!
    Another problem:
      I have been told I am online using Aim or iChat, using a mobile me login. but I am not  Something funky going on and for the life of me I can not square things away. I think just deleting and starting fresh would uncomplicate things on this end. Can anyone here understand what I'm trying to fix?

  • How do I delete a icloud email account?

    I just set up an icloud email account and realised I misspelt my name in the address..my original primary address is a non apple email account..can I delete the icloud mail address or is it linked forever to my primary address? How do I do it if possible. I'm using an ipad and iPhone linked on icloud..

    You can't change the icloud email address without creating a new iCloud account.  You can, however, create an alias address with the correct spelling.  It will operate just as your current address does, receiving email in your curren iCloud inbox.  Just don't ever delete the alias or you won't be able to reactivate it.  This explains how to add an alias: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

  • TS4002 How to delete other icloud email accounts

    Someone has hacked my account and added two default iCloud emails to my account how do I delete them???

    What sort of default emails? Do you mean @icloud.com versions with the same username? - that's normal. Or do you mean additional aliases? You delete these at http://icloud.com - go to the Mail page, click the cogwheel icon at top right, choose 'Preferences' then 'Accounts in the toolbar of the pane which opens. Select the alias you want to delete and click the '-' button below the list. And change your password. If it's not one of these types, what is it exactly (don't post your actual email address).

  • Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to block someone from emailing me or simply just delete my icloud email account (me) so this person can not email me or facetime me.  it is a brand new account and I would like to start all over.

    Thanks so much!!!

    If it's a brand new account, then there should be no harm in deleting it assuming you don't have any important data saved. On the iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud > Delete Account.
    You can then create a new ID at http://appleid.apple.com, then sign in to iCloud after the ID has been created.

  • Deleting iCloud email account.

    Hello.
    I have created an iCloud account (my Apple ID), however, after setting up my iCloud account, I was prompted to create an iCloud email account ([username]@icloud.com). I did create one, because it said if I did I would be able to access things such as "iCloud emails." However, I know I will never use it and want to delete it. Where do I access my iCloud email account and how do I delete it?
    I have an iPhone 5 and also a Windows 7 laptop, so a way to delete this account on either of those devices would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance for any responses, as I've been out of luck in terms of finding anything to answer my question.

    Once created, you can't delete an iCloud email account from your ID.  You don't, however, have to use it for email.  To remove the account from your devices, go to Settings>iCloud and turn Mail off.

  • ICloud email accounts necessary on all my apple devices?

    I have an iMac, a MacBook Pro, an iPod 2, and an iPhone 4s.  When setting up iCloud, I ended up with an iCloud email account on the MacBook, the iPhone, and the iPad, but not on the iMac.  Is this normal?  Are the iCloud email accounts required on the ios devices and the MacBook? 

    I'm not sure if I am referring to Apple ID.  In the iCloud setup routine on my iPad and iPhone, all of my devices  my normal, i.e., [email protected], email address being used as my Apple ID, with a me.com address for email shown on the IOS devices.  It would appear then that the cox email account answers the Apple ID requirement.  My question, then, is, do I need the iCloud email address (@me.com) as well?  Since my iMac doesn't have the iCloud email account in either mail or iCloud, it would appear that I do not.  So I guess my bottom line question is, can I safely delete the iCloud email account ([email protected]) from those devices that have it? 

  • I have an icloud email account that my spouse used and he is gone now, can I delete this one and use another or will this delete information?

    I have an icloud email account that was set up by my spouse and I am trying to get rid of everything with him on it due to the nature of the split and want to make sure he can never access the childrens and my photots, music, etc. 
    In this I wanted to change the email address in icloud so that I no longer get his emails from his contacts, friends, etc.  I made an alias but is there anyway to delete this icloud email address and use another or will this delete all of our data?
    New at this icloud and its real cool but afraid to lose all my information. 
    Help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Deleting the account from the phone will do only that! it won't affect any other information on any other device.

  • How do I delete a MobileMe email account from iPad that has iCloud on it?

    I Have an iPhone 4s that I installed iCloud on during the setup process. My iPhone, iPad and PC sync properly. However, my iPad email settings display both the MobileMe and iCloud accounts (with identical settings to each other).  Sometimes, the iPad receives duplicate emails, but not all of the time.  When I try to delete the MobileMe account through the iPad email settings, the delete/disable option does not appear.  My iPhone and my PC, with Outlook email, only have one email account setup, iCloud.  My PC is using Windows 7 (64bit) and Outlook 2010.   So, how do I get the MobileMe off of my iPad?

    Also FIXED, after reading Ned the Nerd's solution to delete the iCloud account, which is actually the account I wanted to keep.  After I deleted the iCloud account in the Mail/Contacts/Calendar settings, I was able to go into the MobileMe account, turn everything off, and then I was asked if I wanted to delete the MobileMe account.  After deleting the MobileMe account, I clicked back on the iCloud icon, still displayed in the settings, and logged back into iCloud.  All of my email, contacts and caledars restored perfectly, and now there is only the one iCloud email account displaying in my email app.  Thanks Ned!
