ICloud email alias deletion vs iOS device

When you delete (or mark disable) an alias in iCloud.com, how long before that alias dissappears from the list of choices when using iPhone or iPad? I know on your iOS device, you can go into icloud-settings-advanced and toggle each one off from there (which seems not to reflect the choices you made on iCloud.com, but will they ever sync up so deleted/disabled alias's will stop showing up as a choice to send mail on your iOS device?

It's easy.
I suppose you are using Mail as your mail application, so open it. Then, go to Mail menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > Accounts, and choose your iCloud account in the sidebar. After that, you should see an "Alias" option, so press it and you will see your @icloud.com and @me.com addresses. Choose the @icloud.com email address, and you will be using this mail account on your Mac.
However, you can't remove a @me.com email address from iCloud

Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one? I have iCloud set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iphone5 and a Mac. What am I doing wrong? Thank you

Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one? I have iCloud mail set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iPhone 5 and a Mac desktop. What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

It depends on the type of email account you are using, not on iCloud. If you are using an IMAP or exchange account, when you delete from one device, it is deleted from all devices. If you are using a POP (POP3) account, it won't. (iCloud email, Gmail and Yahoo are all IMAP accounts.)

Unable to delete iCloud email alias

I am unable to delete my iCloud email Alias sucessfully.
I have 3 alias at the moment. Two of it is correct and I am going to use it. The third was created wrongly(named spelt wrongly) and I tried to delete it. The moment i click the delete button and re-confirmed at the prompt, nothing happen. If you close the Settings menu and go back to the main interface, the alias itself is not found when u compose an email.
BUT when you sign out of iCloud, the alias you have deleted will return. If you go back to the menu right after deleting the alias earlier on, there will be an error which always appears when i repeat it(report sent to apple everytime) stating internal inconsistency error or something like that.
Now if you untick the box for "send and receieve.." for that particular alias, yes the alias itself will disppear from the list of aliases when i compose a new mail.
BUT NOW there's another bug which comes with this - when i navigate to my iPhone's mail and compose a new mail(through iCloud, i had it enabled on my phone), the alias which i have deactivated just now still REMAINS and in fact i can even send email from it! So much for deactivation.
I find it ridiculous to pay for support through Express Lane Support for this which does not belong to me(not like its a phone, duh), so i hope apple is actually looking at this and find a fix for it.
And yes, i want my deleted alias to finally be deleted.
PS: Im using Windows 7. Issue occur on both Firefox and IE

I filed a bug report weeks ago with Apple about this issue with the iCloud Mail app crashing when one tries to delete an email alias. Apple has yesterday closed the ticket, telling me that the issue is not a bug but rather a "support" issue.
In the interest of moving toward a solution for all those affected by the issue, I hope that someone who has access to free Express Lane support will take the time to see what support will do about the problem. Free Express Lane support is available to anyone who has purchased Apple hardware in the last 90 days or who has current AppleCare coverage. If someone does contact Apple support regarding the issue, please report back here so that the rest of us can know whether support reps are able to fix an affected account.
Thanks.

How can iTune-synched photos be deleted from iOS devices if the iTunes computer is no longer available?

How can iTunes-synched photos be deleted from iOS devices if the iTunes computer is no longer available?
This can happen because the iOS device is on travels distant from the iTunes computer, because the iTunes computer is on travels distant from the iOS device, because the iTunes computer has failed permanently, because the iTunes computer has been stolen, etc.

KRDHarris-
The only possibility I can think of, is to consult with an Apple Store Genius. See if there is some kind of Apple proprietary software or diagnostic tool that can do it.
I do not think you want to, but you could go to Settings-General-Reset-Erase All Content and Settings. If you decided to do that, you might be able to restore from a previous backup when you get home.

ICloud email alias' not receiving email

i have two email alias' brought over from mobileme.com into icloud
they are imported and showing in my icloud email alias' list. however, when i email to those addresses (@me.com) the emails end up in the mailer-daemon world.
any thoughts?

OK I think I have this figured out here. Looks like a case of operator error on this end in the beginning. Sorry for all the detail below, but if it helps anyone I hope it is worth it.
1. Per suggestion of Carolyn Samit elsewhere, I went into Apple>System Preferences>Internet and Wireless>iCloud and deselected Mail and Notes. I then repeated the above, but toggled the Mail and Notes back on.
2. I sent another test message to my iCloud alias address, per the routine set out in the first post above, with a BCC back to me, which immediately appeared in the MacBook Pro Mail Inbox.
3. I left the Sent message in the Sent folder, and the BCC in the Inbox.
4. I then signed into iCloud and opened Mail.
5. Lo and Behold, my test message was in both the Sent folder and the Inbox in iCloud Mail.
Lesson to be learned from the different process I had used earlier -- iCloud mimics exactly what I had previously done on my MacBook Pro (which was not detailed above because it did not seem important at the time). Previously, after sending a test email, I immediately moved the Sent message into a special folder on the MacBook Pro, and also immediately moved the BCC copy in the Inbox into the same special folder in Mac Mail.
iCloud mimic'd these moves, so when I went there in the early stages of this process (after having already moved two emails into special folders on the laptop), there were no emails to be seen at iCloud.
This last time just now, I left the emails in my Inbox and Sent folders at the laptop, and they WERE in the corresponding folders at iCloud.
Now, to toggle off Mail and Notes in Apple System Preferences and see what happens?
Good night . .

How can I unsync email so deleting from one device will not remove it from all devices?

How do I unsync email so deleting from one device will not remove it from all devices?

Sounds like you have an IMAP/Exchange mail account (vice a POP3 account). By design, an IMPA/Exchange account synchronized your mail boxes among different devices. That behavior can't be changed.

Hello there,

Make sure your iOS device is able to connect to the internent over Wi-Fi." Please any idea of what to do to get rid of this message from the screen.

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

Email deleted in iOS device still shows up in POP3 download

This started with the upgrade to both iOS 5 and iCloud. I was previously using MobileMe, .Mac prior to that, and iTools before that. The whole time I've been using Entourage to download my email from Apple's servers without incident (account setup for POP3). A few years ago I bought an iPod Touch, running iOS 3.x, and using the built-in MobileMe account setup I was able to delete emails via that device and they would not show up on the POP3 download to Entourage. This function continued with the addition of other iDevices and software upgrades (iOS 4.x). However, with the transition to iOS 5 and iCloud the emails that get deleted on any of my iDevices (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) still show up in my POP3 download. What's interesting is that they are removed from the other iDevices when deleted from any one of them (they're all on the same account and have been for over a year). I've tried to find a setting that will bring back this function without any success.

I might have figured this out on my own (with help of scouring other discussion pages). It would seem that Entourage is using the old MobileMe servers which receives the email traffic along with iCloud (i.e. two copies). That's why my mail appears in my POP3 download even after deleting on my iOS devices (which are using the iCloud servers exclusively). There doesn't appear to be any "syncing" occurring between the MobileMe and iCloud servers once the email has been delivered to each server.
I guess I have until June 2012 to figure out what I'm going to do with Entourage. I tend to hang on to email for a while and I don't really like the idea of it being out on Apple's servers for that amount of time. I believe there is a way to configure an IMAP account to download off the server and keep a local copy. I'm going to need to look into that.

My icloud email messages disappear on all my devices after about a week and I cannot locate them - not in archive on icloud.
I use several devices to receive emails - imac, ipad, iphone and samsung galaxy note. I put all read emails to trash on samsung, ipad and iphone but keep on imac and wish to retain there for reference. All other accounts remain but icloud emails disappear. No devices say to delete from server. Can anyone please help?

If this is your iCloud email account, whcn you delete an email from any of your devices, they are moved to the trash on all devices/computers, then the trash is automatically deleted after 30 days. That's how IMAP accounts work. You can't delete them from your device and keep it on the server because you are reading and deleting from the server itself.
If you want to keep them on your Mac, you'll need to move them to a folder rather than deleting them. When you do, they will be moved to the same folder on your other devices.

ICloud eMail Address Deletion

I have 2 iCloud email addresses under my Apple ID, one of which is an @me.com and one @icloud.com. When setting up iCloud on my IOS devices, it is easy to select which email address I would like to use, however when creating the iCloud account in the Mail App on my Macbook Pro, it automatically selects the @me.com address.
I only want use the @icloud.com address and therefore would like to delete the @me.com address.
Could someone kindly advise me as to how I could delete the @me.com email address from my iCloud account?
I look forward to from anyone within the community who may be of some assistance with the above issue.
Thanks

How do I delete my iCloud email without deleting the files from the server?

I want to delete my iCloud email from a laptop I don't use much anymore. I am afraid if I do all the files will delete from the server as well. Is this true? If not, what are the best ways to go about deleting the account without harming the files on the server (in turn deleting all my email from synced iCloud devices)?

In Mail, delete the account, the server side will not be changed.

How to convert a new Apple ID into a iCloud email alias?

Howdy,
Just a few weeks ago, I created a second MobleMe accout for my daugher via my MobleMe family plan. The reason was that her orignal MobleMe email ([email protected]) address seemed a bit childish to her and she wanted a new "more professional" sounding address. At first I tried to create an email alias, but discovered that new alias creation had been stopped due to the looming iCloud launch, so I used one of my unused family plan accounts to create "[email protected]." Took some fooling around to get mail on her macbook to send & receive from both... but it worked and I was once again, the family IT hero!
Okay, now that iCloud has launched, and we are converting over to iCloud I wondered what to do about my daughters two email addresses. I looked around for information about just converting both xxxx & yyyy to iCloud, so my daughter could receive both emails from the same iMac mail account... but I can find nothing about that option on the inter tubes so I figured that option was unsupported.
Next I wondered if email aliases had come back, and they have! Cool, just convert [email protected] to an alias of [email protected]... but alias, you can't delete an Apple ID and I assume that I won't be able to create [email protected] as an alias as it is it's one Apple ID (otherwise, there would be a really big security hole in iCloud email ;).
What to do? Well, I can think of the following options, in order of what would be most user friendly to my daughter:
1. Convert [email protected] to an alias of [email protected]. This would be nice because I could simplify my daughters email set up (just one account, not two). Trouble is, I don't know how to do this and/or it just can't be done.
2. Create a new alias for [email protected]; [email protected]. Kind of junky as "yyyy" is pretty obvious (if you knew what it was), and [email protected] is already "out there."
3. Create two accounts on my daughters macbook; one for [email protected] and the other for [email protected]. This ***** because she'd have to logout/login to check mail on both accounts.
So... their must be a simpler way, right Apple? If so, please advise!
