    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.

  • HT201342 How secure is iCloud email address? Compared to AOL or GMAIL?

    Is it really secure? How can I b sure?

    Copied from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4865
    All traffic between your devices and iCloud Mail and Notes is encrypted with SSL. Consistent with standard industry practice, iCloud does not encrypt data stored on IMAP mail servers. All Apple email clients support optional S/MIME encryption.

  • I can't figure out how to delete and email address for someone that is no longer valid.

    I can't figure out how to delete an email address that is no longer valid.

    Assuming that this is on your iOS device, then you can change a contact's details via the Contacts app. If it's not linked to one of your contacts then I get a blue 'i' to the right of the email address on the popup list :
    Tapping on that gives me a second popup, at the bottom of which is :

  • Mail: How to delete an email address in the "To" field that is no longer valid

    How to delete an email address that is no longer valid but still appears as an option when typing that person's name in the field "To"; in MS Outlook this simply works by deleting that email address in the field "To" or "Cc" or "Bcc". The old, non-valid email address has been deleted in the address book and replaced by a new valid email address. When typing in the "To" field both email addresses appear as an option. Is it possible to achieve that only the valid email address is offered as an option so to avoid any confusion.

    well, when the "false" address is in the "to" field, you should see a littl' arrow pointing down and a "remove from previous recipients list.
    It should fix the problem. (and so, only keep the "good one"
    (oops, too late)

  • How to delete an email address in Mail

    A friend of mine has just changed his email address but I cannot remove his old one from Mail. I have added his new address and removed the old one from my Address book but his old address still comes up as the default when starting a new email to him.
    Any ideas would be appreciated...Cheers...

    Biggest apologies thought I was writing about iOS!?
    Am I also wrong about that too in iOS?

    It appears because your mail app remembers a history of addresses.
    It cannot be deleted but I think it will disappear after a certain time.

    hi Guys, i mistakenly synced my iphone and all my email contacts appears in my contacts list. its mixed up. can someone please assist me on how to delete the email address ONLY?

    Don't understand your problem... Contacts sync with a compatible address book or cloud service. Contact records can contain names, addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, notes, or any combination of these. If you have records you don't want in your address book that you don't want in your contacts, then segregate them into groups in your address book and only sync the group(s) you want. If you don't want them there at all, then delete them.

  • How to disable/deactivate/delete iCloud email address

    Like most people, I have a number of different e-mail accounts for a variety of different reasons (Yahoo, GMail, iCloud/@me). I'm trying to get it down to just one, where all my personal, work, etc. e-mails can go. Ideally, I would have like to have just my iCloud e-mail (mine is an [email protected] instead of an [email protected]) but since I have found it to be impossible to have an Apple ID that is not associated with an outside e-mail address (currently a GMail account), it seems like I won't get my preference, unless anyone here knows something I don't.
    Here's my dilemma. How do I deactivate my iCloud email address? I realize that I could simply stop using it, but I have contacts that I'm not necessarily in consistent contact with, so if they e-mail me, and it doesn't bounce back because the account has been deleted, they'll never know, and I'll never check. Is there anyway to delete/disable/deactivate your iCloud e-mail address so that the account cannot receive e-mails? Like when you delete a GMail account and try to send an e-mail to that address afterwords, you get the mailer-daemon response.

    Your GMail ID is simply the login; you can just use your iClour email address. If Apple are using the GMail address as a contact you can enable forwarding from GMail to your iCloud address. You do have an @icloud.com address as well as an @me.com address. However you cannot make either of these your ID/login.
    You cannot delete an iCloud account nor the primary address. If you want to abandon it you could set up forwarding from iCloud to whatever address you want to use. Go to http://www.icloud.com  , go to the Mail page and click the cogwheel icon at bottom left. In the first pane which opens there is a section to forward mail.

  • How to change iCloud email address?

    Hi,
    when my brother-in-law set up his wife's iPad he used her current e-mail address as her appleID. But once he activated iCloud (for her new iPhone) he used unintentionally his name, Peter, to create her iCloud email address. How can I delete this iCloud e-mail address and set up a new iCloud e-mail address?

  • 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.

  • How to delete zombie email address

    How can you delete zombie email address and contacts that only show up when looking for an address when emailing.

    I think the OP was asking about the "auto fill" zombie email addresses.  If this is the case, they are not even in the address book to delete, they are suggested as you type.  If this is the case, as of right now there is no way to delete these one by one.  Hopefully an iOS update will allow this, as this is an old issue.  If they are truly bothering you, the "zombie apocolypse" is to restore as a new device, not using one of your backups, but then you've lost all your old data, so the cure is worse than the disease.

  • In Mail, how to delete an email address that automatically comes up as a ch

    I have deleted one email address from Address Book, and it is gone in the address book. However when I start an email to this person, that deleted email address still shows up as a choice below the current email address of this person. How do I delete the old email address from this location?
    Thanks to someone who can answer this

    Eva, I found where the previous recipient information is actually stored, unfortunately I don't have a solution yet though.
    Mail's "previous recipients" list is actually stored in ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook.data. However, as the name suggests this is actually where all your Address Book information is stored. Deleting the file AddressBook.data got rid of my entire Previous Recipients list, unfortunately it deleted my entire Address Book as well. Dragging the file back to the Application Support folder caused every Address Book entry to be duplicated... so I don't recommend this strategy
    I reverted to an Address Book backup to set things right again.
    So it would appear your mystery addresses are probably in the AddressBook.data file, unfortunately I still don't know how to excise the ones you don't want.

  • How to add iCloud email address

    Can't find any info on how to add another icloud email address.
    Any help out there?

    You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
    More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
