HT201342 How delete iCloud email account?

How to delete iCloud email account? I subscribed to iCloud with hotmail email account and ended up wit another iCloud separate email account. Don't need two of them.

You can delete an account from your phone by simply tapping Delete Account, but you can't delete it from iCloud.  You can only stop using it.

  • 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.

  • Deleting iCloud email account on iPad 2, help please

    Can I delete my iCloud email account, with was set up by mistake,without losing my pictures, books, photos, etc that have been saved to iCloud? I lost all my photos/ videos, other material when I hooked the iPad to the pc to load my pictures to the pc. I was told I should have iCloud, which I didnt before and everything worked fine. The icloud backup is using all my storage and i think i can delete, but it says i will lose all my photo syreams, etc if i delete.

    You should be able log out of the account via Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and you can then log back in with the updated version of your account

  • 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 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.

  • 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 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/

  • HT201342 How can I easily merge my .me and .icloud email accounts?

    How can I easily merge my .me and .icloud email accounts?

    You don't need to merge them - they are already merged as they are exactly the same account. They are just different addresses pointing to the same account.
    mende1 has it wrong saying "you receive the same mails on both mail accounts". There is only one mail account. Both email addresses point to the same single email account.

  • 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.

  • HT204053 I setup an apple id using my gmail email address from my iphone and then I decided to change my email to icloud.  So I setup an icloud email account. Now I want to change my apple id to my icloud email account, but it wont let me.  How can I merg

    I just got an iphone recently and I started my apple id using my gmail email address. I decided to change email from gmail to icloud so I setup an icloud email account and now I have two apple id accounts.  All my primary information is in the gmail apple id account and i just want to merge the two together.  I've tried changing the apple id on the main account to the icloud email, but it says it already exists.  How can I merge these two accounts without deleting one or the other?
    Thanks

    You can't merge iCloud accounts.
    You could move all your calendars contacts etc over from the account you don't want to the one you do, it's not simple but about all I can suggest.

  • 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?

    Hi Rebecca, yes you can, can you afford to lose al eMails in it?
    Would you like to know how to setup an iCloud eMail account that works?

  • TS4002 How do I re-add an existing iCloud email account to iPad 2?

    I set up iCloud email OK on my new iPad 2. I did not previously have a MobileMe account. When the email stopped working (I got repeated messages to say server unavailable) I followed Apple instructions to delete the account from the iPad with the intention of re-adding it.
    When I try to do this, it always wants to make me create a new @me.com email address, and I can't find a way to tell it my existing one. If I try to add my existing address, it tells me that it is taken and I have to choose another (of course it's taken, it's mine!)
    I can login to anything that requires an Apple ID (iTunes Store, Apple ID pages, iCloud.com etc.) with either my actual Apple ID or my existing @me.com email address and all the features on iCloud.com except Mail work fine, including Locate my iPad, Documents, Contacts, Calendar. The email address is also set up manually in Mail on my MacMini (OS 10.6.8) and still works from there. I don't wish to upgrade to 10.7 because I have some programs that won't work on that.
    How do I tell my iPad that I already have an iCloud email account @me.com?

    I have solved this - partially. I deleted the iCloud account from my iPad, rebooted it, then re-added it using my @me.com address as my AppleID instead of my primary AppleID. These are still linked to one another.
    The iPad still says it cannot contact the iCloud server, so in the Advanced pane of the Mail settings, Outgoing Mail Server, I have allowed it to use the outgoing server of another email address of mine.

  • How to delete iCloud email

    How do you delete iCloud email and I have forgot the password.

    You have to provide the ID and password that were used to originally activate the device.  There is no way around this.  If it is your ID but you can't remember it, you can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625.  If you don’t know your password you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.
    However, if it was previously owned by someone else, you have to get the ID and password from them, or have them erase it and remove it from their account as explaned here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515.  No one else can help you with this.
