I have hundreds of thousands of unread emails linked to my iCloud account. How do I delete them all?

I've had a 'Mac' email account since 2006 when I subscribed to MobileMe. I never really bothered to delete mail so I have literally 100's of thousands of unread emails. I'm only able to delete a couple hundred at a time. Is there a way to delete ALL my unread mail in one step?

Select the top or bottom e-mail, then hold down the Shift key while selecting the other end. This should highlight all the e-mails. Hit the delete key. To save hard drive space, go to the Trash mailbox and repeat.

Due to circumstances I have three iCloud accounts, How can I amalgamate them into one iCloud account?

No, unfortunately you cannot merge accounts or transfer any purchased content from one account to another. As I said Apple won't let you do that.

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

I have 2 icloud accounts how can i see them both on my macbook and iphone

I have 2 icloud accounts how can I see them both on my macbook and iphone?

iCloud doesn't have anything to do with texts or phone calls. Those are both tied to your phone number and SIM, not to an iCloud account.

I have an I pad2, an iMac desktop and an I phone 5, how do I get them all to be bale to face time with each other, do I need different email addresses, use the phone number, or the sim number in the iPad ? Ay help gratefully received !!

Graham,
For the iPad, iMac you need to create verifyible e-mail addresses created with one of the providers such as Yahoo, Gmail,etc. For the iphone you should use it's phone number, but an e-mail could be used for it too. If you want to associate these e-mail addresses with a single ID, I'm including a link to give you info about how you can do that. Read it carefully, as it can be a bit confusing.

I have many emails in file, is there a way I can delete them all at one time?

Is there any way I can delete my mail all at one time instead of having to check each one first.

You can delete them all at one time but unfortunately you have to check them first. Then in Trash you can delete all.

I have 2 iCloud accounts. how do i delete my old one?

i have 2 iCloud accounts as i have a new email address. how do i delete my old one that i can't remember the password to?

You can't delete it. There are some qualifications for Apple to delete it and you will need to verify the account.
You have to contact Apple support for that

I want to add my kids to my icloud account how do i create them email addresses under my account?

I have an icloud account and an apple ID.
I want to create two new email addresses that my kids can use, but that are controlled under or by my account.
Somehow i've managed to create one new icloud email address, but can add another and can't see the one i've created in "manager my account"
Any help greatfully recieved.
Thanks
Rich

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.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it. This means that if you created aliases for your kids they will not be able to retain the addresses when they grow up and have their own accounts. Also note that though this means you can read their mail, it also means that they can read yours.
More information on aliases here:

HT4528 My phone will not send me the email to verify my iCloud account, how do I get this to happen?

I first got my iphone 5 in July and I set my phone but my iCloud account would not verify so I have tried to delete the account and do it again but it will not send me the email I need to verify my account. So please someone help me with this. Thanks

Hi Belinda80!
I have an article for you that can help you address this issue:
I cannot sign in to the iCloud Preferences pane on my Mac due to an alert stating that my email address has not been verified.
If you cannot sign in due to an alert stating "Account not verified - Check your email for instructions for verifying your account":
Close and reopen the iCloud Preferences pane before logging in again.
If that does not resolve the issue, check your email folder and Junk folder for a verification email sent from Apple.
If there is no verification email in your email folder or Junk folder, click the Resend Verification Email button on the iCloud Preferences pane.

I think i may have two iCloud accounts how can i merge them?

I think i may have two iCloud accounts as i changed my apple id, I don't seem to be able to access the other. How can i see my documents in the cloud

Hello HVD64
I'm afraid there is no way too merge two icloud accounts together per se. However if you;
1. Go to SETTINGS on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Go to iCLOUD.
3. Scroll to the very bottom, press DELETE ACCOUNT. Before you panic, this is not going to Delete your iCloud account. It is simply going to delete the bridge that connects your device to the iCloud.
4. Choose to KEEP ITEMS ON YOUR DEVICE if asked.
Then sign into your 2nd account, and this will merge both accounts onto one device. There is not much else you can do I'm afraid!
Kind regards
Edward

I have 2 icloud accounts - how do I combine them?

I currently have 2 icloud accounts and I am looking for a way to combine them into one account. Can anyone help me with this?

If you turn off the sign out of iCloud account then you can save some of the things to the iPhone or iOS device.
When you sign back into the other Apple ID you can then merge the info.
Note this can duplicate contacts.

I have lost my outlook contacts but they are available in icloud. How do I get them back in outlook on my PC?

I was able to see my contacts in icloud contact group in outlook, but now I get an error. "The set of folder cannot be opened.The information stoerr could not be opened." I can see my contacts on my iphone and in icloud. can I somehow get these back to outlook?

You're welcome.
When asking if you are also syncing contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer wasn't in regards to a solution. Contacts and email addresses can't be imported or made available out of no where.
The Windows Contacts address book app is not included with Windows 7 by Microsoft for some strange reason with all the other garbage included by PC box assemblers with the Windows install, but it can be downloaded from Microsoft's website.
If all contacts are available in your iCloud online address book, on your iPhone go to Settings > iCloud. Turn Contacts off for over the air syncing.
A warning message will be provided indicating this will remove all iCloud contacts from your iPhone along with a prompt to save the contacts locally on your iPhone. If your iCloud online address book is what you want and complete, decline the prompt to save the contacts locally on your iPhone.
After all iCloud contacts are removed, turn Contacts back on for over the air syncing with your iCloud account.

I seem to have two iCloud accounts, how do I merge them so I only have one email address

I originaly had an apple ID with itunes established many years ago. Some years later I obtained a .me account. It appears that when iCloud was created I somehow seem to have ended up with 2 identities. the original iTunesone and the one associated with the then new .me email. I would like to continue using the original iTunes ID (as most of my content is there) but iCloud insists that I need to create another .me email address for that iTunes ID. I do not want two addresses, can I merge these accounts and only use 1 .me addres?
Thanks
Ray

You can keep the original ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match, and use a different ID for iCloud for email, calendar, contacts and bookmarks syncing and PhotoStream.
In iTunesStore>Account you can change the email address associated with the login ID if you with - the actual login doesn't have to be a functioning email address.
This means that iTunes will have a different login to iCloud, but Keychain will take care of this anyway so your won't need to remember which one to use. It's better security to have your iTunes login different from your easily discoverable email address, given the number of complaints about iTunes accounts being hacked.

I have too many accounts and email address in ICloud. How can I delete them down to one?

Some of my address' are synching others are not? I would like to delete all extra accounts between my IPad, IMac and android phone??

If you did not back up with iCloud after you deleted your contacts you can restore from your last back up. If you did not you can re-add the mail account you deleted and the contacts should be saved with that mail account. If your contact list is on your Mac, determine whate email address the contacts are backed up to and then add that email address to your iPad
