HT4897 deleting an alias email address

I have an alias that I would like to remove from my iCloud account due to to the numerous junk mail that I receive on a daily basis.
Can some please help me.  I tried reading the other questions, however, it was overwhelming.  Thanks.

Go to www.icloud.com, login and go to mail, select the gear wheel (right top corner)>Preferences>Accounts, delete the alias there.

  • HT2623 Is there no way to permanently delete an alias email address from one apple id so its available for another apple id?

    I have 2 apple id's (unfortunately), and the one i wanna get rid of has an icloud email address as an alias that i would like to use on my new apple id as a regular email. Is there any way to do this? I deleted the alias from my old account but its somehow still linked.

    I'm afraid you can't transfer an alias (even if deleted) to another account, or make it into an ID itself; and once deleted it can never be reactivated.

  • Reuse an alias email address for a new icloud account?

    In my family we are using an "Family" apply id as a shared family account along with my account and my wife's account.  We were using the family account to share icloud content between my wife and I and our family iPad.  Under the family apple ID I had also created two alias email address (lets call then child1.me.com and child2.me.com) which I had done a long time ago to "reserve" my preferred emails addresses for when the kids were ready to have one.  Apple has changed things a bit since before IOS8 and I have begun to disentangle the family account as a shared iCloud between my wife and I and we are now running our own iClouds, though our iPad still runs using the family account.
    My daughter is 11 and recently inherited an old iPhone. I had recently created her an apple ID by faking her age and using her gmail account (as Apple would not allow under 13yr olds to have an account).  One thing I discovered is that she cannot access [email protected] account that is an alias of the family account so I started to dig into this deeper.  Now that Apple has family sharing I thought I would delete the alias child1 and child2 accounts and set these up as proper apple IDs (as apple now allows this for kids under 13) with Family sharing.
    I deleted my alias email addresses and tried to create the same as new icloud accounts (as apple does not allow the use of .me anymore) i.e. [email protected] and [email protected].  This is not working however.  Apple is telling me that the accounts are already in use.  My understanding is that .me and .icloud are interchangeable so my child1.me.com email alias should have prevented someone else from taking child1.icloud.com; correct?  So it would seem that I am blocking my own icloud account creation even though I have now deleted those aliases.
    Does anyone know when a deleted alias will become available for use as an icloud account?  Also is there any better ways to achieve family email/icloud harmony as right now I am finding it a bit of a mess....
    Thx.

    Do I found that even though I deleted my aliases I was able to add them back in ti my family account even though Apple states that you can. I could not add them as .me accounts though, they had to be .icloud but I was able to maintain the child1 and child2 components.  I ended up deleting them again and just setting up entirely new icloud accounts.

  • 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.)

  • After migrating to iCloud the alias email address not receiving email.

    Hope someone can help
    After migrating to iCloud the alias email address my wife has been using now no longer accepts email. The alias can send but extremly slow. However if you reply to the email or attempt to send and email to the alias address it comes up saying " The recipient "****@me.com" was rejected by the server because the user is unknown.
    I have recently added another alias and it works fine.  I have even deleted and recreated the orignal alias but no success...
    Can anyone help.....?  A happy Wife means Happy Life....
    Regards
    Troy

    Final-Recipient: RFC822; <[email protected]>

  • How to delete the duplicate email address in BP master data

    Hi,
    When  you get an email ids from the third party vendor and you are loading into CRM BP master data.  how to delete the duplicate email address already exits in the system.  In CRM you can create the same BP with different id.   I would like to know how to delete the email address during importing email addresses from the third party tool.
    During the campaign you are sending email to all your customers, when the customer want to unsubscibe the email address from your list, how to unsubcribe the email address and how to updat the BP master data. 
    If you are sending the email to customer, you are using html or simple text, if the customer wants only html or simple text, how you to specify in the system?
    thanks,
    arul

    Hello Arul,
    welcome to the SDN CRM Development forum.
    1. I think you should clear the data with duplicate E-Mail adresses in the external tool.
    2. Unsubscription could be done by a Marketing Attribute which could be set by using a Target Group which is created by Campaign Automation. Have a look at this Toppic. There is also a Best Practice avaliable at http://help.sap.com/bp_crmv340/CRM_DE/index.htm.
    3. Also HTML or Simple text can be mained in a Marketing Attribute. You have to use different Mail Forms to which are sent to different Target groups.
    Regards

  • What would happen if I were to delete the primary email address linked to my Apple ID?

    I wish to completely de-activate my @hotmail email address in order to be left with just my @icloud email address becuase I would find life more managable that way.
    I found out that I cannot change my primary @hotmail email address linked to my Apple ID with an @icloud email address as it is an active, separate Apple ID (in itself with a separate purchase / download history etc)...
    Also I am aware that separate Apple ID's cannot be merged together...
    My question is: "What would happen if I were to delete the primary email address linked to my Apple ID?"
    Would I be able to keep and use my purchases, provided they are backed up on my Mac and authorised?
    Would I be able to update those transferred purchases even though the email address linked to the apple ID in which the app was bought no longer exists?

    You can change the primary e-mail address associated with your Apple ID, so long as it isn't a mac, me or icloud email.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
    Your Apple ID account, regardless of the primary email, can never be 'deleted', just abandoned.
    You could always just switch between the two Apple IDs as needed, to access the different purchases.

  • How do I delete an iCloud email address that was created under my Apple ID?

    I have an Apple ID that is used mostly for iTunes.  My son has an iPod Touch and wanted to create an iCloud email address to use on his iPod.  We created an iCloud email address through my Apple ID, not realizing that now, every time he sends an email, it arrives "from" my name, not his, as the address is attached to my Apple ID and therefore through my account information.  We would like to delete his iCloud email address completely so he can open his own personal Apple ID and recreate his iCloud email address through his own new Apple account.  We deleted the account from his iPod and also deleted it as a second email address on my AppleID account information.  Yet, despite all this, the email address seems to remain attached to my account.  Apple Support website and iCloud support did not give us any ideas.  Help!

    PS:  
    since I posted this question (above), I have read many other questions posted and it seems I am not alone.  Seems Apple will not allow people to delete an iCloud email address completely from existence!  You can delete it from devices but not from the Apple ID account.  What a disappointment, really.  In my opinion, the "user-friendly" Apple is really frustrating people who simply want to be able to manage their email addresses for various, valid reasons.  Email addresses that have been created should be allowed to be deleted by the creator!  Other email services allow this! 
    One idea I have that may help others in my situation:  Rather than delete my son's iCloud email address from my Apple ID account, so that his emails come from HIS name not MINE, I might try to just change the name on my AppleID account from mine to his.  He can create a new password too.  Then, in the future, if I want to recreate my own Apple ID, I will. 

  • How to delete my old email address and install the new one on an HP 4480 all in one.

    my HP 4480 uses my old email address to send scan to email.I need to delete the old email address and install my new one

    des7931,
    You should be able to go to your software on your computer and click on the >Scanner Actions section.
    Then click on>Scan to E-Mail Wizard
    This should bring up a screen to edit, change, or delete the stored email addresses for scan to email.
    Let us know if you don't see this or still have problems.

  • I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

    I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

    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.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • Using an alias email address in Mail for iPhone

    My iPhone 4S shows no interest in using my alias email address as the default choice for sending and receiving email, even though I"ve changed the settings in iCloud. Mail persists in using my Apple ID as the default sending email address. It's a minor nuisance as my name shows up either way, but I'd like the correct email address to show. Can anyone help with this?
    Thanks.

    You would think that would fix it, but it doesn't. I've set my default sending email address as the one I want to [email protected], but despite iCloud showing this as my chosen setting, emails continue to go out with my AppleID as the sending email address. I think this problem is like the case of Facetime, where people can't activate Facetime with anything but their AppleID. It's just something we'll have to wait for Apple to fix.

  • How do I delete a incorrect email address I typed in a sent email from the suggested email list when I start typing again?

    How do I delete a incorrect email address I typed in a sent email from the suggested email address list when I start typing again?

    You can't. There is no way to eliminate those remembered addresses in the mail app. Eventually if you keep ignoring that address it will go away, but it can take some time before it disappears. The only way that you can eliminate now, is by restoring the iPad to factory settings and that's pretty radical just to get rid of a mistyped email address - IMO anyway.

  • I deleted my old email address and one of my notes disappeared.  How do I get it back?

    I deleted an old email address from my iphone5 and one of my notes from notepad disappeared.  How do I get it back?

    Hi, MissLouie.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    Some email accounts allow for note syncing.  I would recommend adding the email account back to the device and turn note syncing on.
