ICloud email account password problems

After initial password and login problems my iCloud email account now works fine in most cases.
When I create an email account on a mobile phone however...
Sadly my company phone is a Windows Mobile Device, and it finds all the right info, I add the username and password correctly, but a 'wrong password' message displays after it tries to synchronise mail. Any ideas anyone?

  • HT202667 I don't know the password to my iCloud email account. My Apple and iTunes ID is not my iCloud email address. How do I find my iCloud password? I would like to add this email address to a mail app.

    I Downloaded an app that keeps all address' in one place. I went to add my iCloud email and when asked for my password, nothing I tried worked. It is obviously not the same password that I use to login to my Apple or iTunes account. How do I find out my password?

    Hi Kim,
    The password for your iCloud account and your Apple ID are one in the same, as the iCloud email account is an alias for your Apple ID as well.
    After you set up your @icloud.com email address, you can use it to sign in to iCloud. You can also sign in using the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account.

    Since updating my macbook pro to IO X Mavericks, my iCloud email account will not hold its password.  Apple support cannot provide a resolution. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Have you tried - in Mail go to the menu Mail > Preferences.
    When the Preferences Pane opens, click on the Accounts Tab.
    Click on your iCloud Account to select it.
    Click on the Advanced tab.
    Set Authentication to Apple Token.
    Close the Preference Pane.

  • 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.

  • How do i obtain a new iCloud email account

    My father set up a new ipad mini for my mother without setting up an icloud email account.  How do I go back to reset and obtain an icloud and apple Id?
    My father set the ipad up with a gmail account and forgot the password so everything is messed up help.

    Well the Mac is way too old, but rhis situation may not be as bad as it appears. Take a look at these kb articles.
    1. Did they enter an email address to use for an Apple ID? If they didn't, then they can create one where I stated in the other post - Settings>iTunes and App Store. They can create the ID in there.
    If they want to use a credit card with their Apple ID. See this.
    iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes - Support
    if they don't want to use a credit card, then they can create the ID this way.

    2. This might help with the iCloud account. It is really quite simple.

  • 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.

    Welcome to the Apple community Fazypk.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

    You do mean your home network that your Mac connects to - correct?

    Make sure that you typing the password correctly - check upper and lower case letter - make sure they are correct. This is a problem with inital setup? Back out of the setting and then come back and try again.

  • My email account password isn't accepted

    I changed my email account password with AT&T. Now, I'm prompted for the password in Mac mail and it's not accepted. I used the keychain firstaid and there were no problems or repairs to be made. I'm able to login to ATT/Yahoo mail via the web so they(ATT) insist the problem is with my Mac. What do I try next?

    Did it work before, or has it always been this way?
