ICloud Mail size (through iCloud Manage Storage tab)

So I have 43 messages in my inbox.  There is one excel spreadsheet attachment that is 14kb.  No photos, nothing.  I have deleted EVERYTHING from every possible mail folder that exists in icloud mail.  I have gone on the website to confirm deletions, I have double checked the Mail app on my iMac(Yosemite).  I then go on to my iPhone 6(which only has icloud as the sole mail acct), into the icloud settings tab, manage storage, and the "mail" says it is taking up 125 mb of space on icloud.  How is this possible?  It specifically says it is just mail, no backup, nothing else, just emails that take up 125 mb.  I find this hard to believe.  There is no way to manage this either like you could with other apps.
Can anyone help me solve this incongruency?  What am I missing?
Thanks in advance.

It might be caused by storage "buffering".  If so, the space will adjust automatically when another iCloud feature uses the space previously allocated to your deleted email.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4873.

  • I have deleted all emails from my ICloud email account but my manage storage still shows that the mail is using 9.7GB.  Why isn't the number decreasing if all emails have been deleted?

    I'm afraid you're out of luck.  If it says incomplete you won't be able to access the backup.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    How i can receive icloud mail if my icloud email disabled from apple?
    please help
    thanks

    If Apple has disabled or deactivated your e-mail account, then you will not be able to use it. Did Apple tell you why it was disabled?
    If you don't know why Apple disabled it, you'll need to contact Apple Support to find out why.

  • I can no longer access or use my mail only through iCloud.  I have made no changes to cause this., I can no longer access or use my mail only through iCloud.  I have made no changes to cause this.

    I can no longer use my mail, only can access through icloud. I have made no changes or updates to create this problem.  TWC did take over my internet provider and suddenly I started have a myriad of issues.  I am in the process of changing providers to ATT because TWC does not support Safari.

    How does TWC not support Safari? (They're lying)
    You're using Apple Mail right?
    What happens when you launch mail?
    Please provide all errors you see.

  • HT4847 I just upgraded to Iphone 5, icloud has a back up of my old iphone in the manage storage tab, will it have my old contacts list? If so, how do I restore it?

    Help!

    You'll have to restore the backup to find out.  To do this, if your new phone is already set up go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  Sign into your iCloud account, agree to the terms and conditions, then choose your backup to restore from.
    Be sure you phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

  • ICloud mail down in Australia. Any idea when it will be back up?

    Have not had iCloud mail come through all day, any idea if its a) down and b) if so, when it will be back up?

    I've been down since midday 17 April over here in Perth.
    It's incredibly frustrating, as some important and urgent email was apparently sent to the iCloud account, which I've missed.
    I can't get a straight answer from anyone about when it will be up again.

    The only thing I can think of that may cause this would be storage buffering.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4873.

    No, iCloud does not handle 3rd party mail, and Google can already sync to all your devices without any help.
    iCloud accounts are individual, there is no 'Family' account. Open an account for each user, each will have an iCloud address.

  • Don't see photos from icloud.  Replaced broken 4s w/new phone.  Help! How do I get photos back? They don't show up on icloud online but phone says broken phone was backed up yesterday under manage storage.  How do I use this backup?

    Please help.  Replaced broken phone w/new 4s.  I did as the genius bar guy said and did reset>erase all content and settings at home because he said it would take too long in the store.  Last time I had to replace my phone, all the photos and video were there.  Now they're not.  I had set up icloud but when i typed in "my restore from icloud", nothing came up.  I NEED those pictures and videos.  They're the last photos and videos I have of my mother who passed away recently.  Please I need them back.  I feel like I've lost her all over again.  Please someone help.  I went to icloud>storage & backup>manage storage and i see that those pictures were backed up yesterday yet I don't see any pictures or picture icon in icloud.com.  Please someone help me get those pictures back.  They're priceless and they're the last I have left of my mother.

    If this is your first sync and there is already data on the phone, perform the steps listed below.  This will transfer your apps and other media purchased from the iTunes store to your iTunes library, perform a manual backup and restore, then sync the iTunes media back to the phone from your iTunes library.  This will not transfer media from other sources such as music from your ripped CDs.  As you said you never synced before, I assume all of your apps, music and other media was purchased from the iTuens and App stores.  If this is correct, you won't lose anything.
    Download and install iTunes: http://www.apple.com/itunes/.
    Launch iTunes, go to the View menu and click to check Show Sidebar.
    Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Edit>Preferences>Devices if using Windows) and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Go to Store>Authorize This Computer and authorize all Apple IDs used to purchase apps and other iTunes media (music, podcasts, movies, tv shows, etc.) on your phone.
    On her phone, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and turn iCloud Backup to Off.
    Connect her phone to your computer and in iTunes go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer your purchased media to your iTunes library.
    Right-click on the name of the phone on the left side of iTunes and click "Reset Warnings".
    Right-click on the name of the phone again and click "Back Up" to back up the phone.
    Right-click again and choose "Restore from Backup...", select the backup you just made to restore from and restore the backup to your phone.  If prompted to back up again, decline.
    Go to the Info tab and make sure nothing is checked so you aren't syncing calendars, contacts, etc. with iTunes.
    Go to the Summary tab and select This Computer under Automatically Back Up.
    Check the other tabs to confirm that your sync settings are the way you want them.
    Click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.

  • Icloud manage storage link not working on my iphone 4s

    I need to manage my icloud storage, but the manage storage link on my iphone is not working. When I click on it, nothing happens. Can anyone help with this problem? I don't want to buy more storage if I can turn off some of my apps in icloud. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks!

    Had the same problem recently (on an iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1). The phone couldn't back up to iCloud as the storage limit had been exceeded, and tapping "Manage Storage" in the iCloud settings didn't work: it just briefly showed a spinning wheel but I couldn't enter the Manage Storage screen. Looks like a bug.
    In the end I was able to solve it  via the iCloud settings on a laptop. Using this route, I removed the backup that was clogging the available 5GB free storage and was able to access Manage Storage again to tweak the settings. In my case this meant disabling iCloud backups of photos in the camera roll, which was the reason for the large size of the backup file in the first place.
    Here's what I did:
    1. Important step: first of all, make a backup of your phone in iTunes by connecting it to the computer and chosing the backup option in iTunes. You will delete the iCloud backup in step 3, so it's best to have another backup handy. It's not very likely your phone will crash in the short time it takes to complete these steps, but better safe than sorry.
    2. After making the full phone backup, I downloaded all the photos from the camera roll onto my computer and deleted them from the phone. There are different ways of doing this, on a Mac you can for instance use Image Capture. This step is not really necessary to get the backups working again as you will probably disable camera roll backups in step 3 anyway, but it's good to get into the habit of backing up photos on the computer regularly, rather than in iCloud. If you want to keep some photos on the phone as well, you can always copy them back from the computer onto the phone.
    3. Access iCloud storage management via the computer rather than the iPhone. Instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847 > Backup > Deleting backups and turning off Backup for your device > Mac OS X (or Windows 8, Windows 7 and Vista). If you use a Windows computer and the iCloud control panel hasn't been installed yet, you can find it here http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html.
    I don't think you can delete specific elements like the camera roll from the backup this way, you have to delete the whole thing. But you made another backup in step 1 so this isn't really a problem.
    4. On the iPhone, try to access Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage again - it should work now. In the next screen, choose your iPhone and you will get the Backup Options where you can switch backups on and off for different apps. It shows you how much storage each app takes, you will probably see that the Camera Roll is the largest so you may want to switch that off. Once you're happy with the settings, go back two screens to Storage & Backup and switch Icloud Backup back on (it was automatically switched off in step 3), and if you are on Wi-Fi, tap Back Up Now so it makes a new iCloud backup right away.
    That's all, hope it solves your problem.

  • Icloud storage full - manage storage

    Hi,
    So my ipad is saying that my icloud storage is almost full and it is preventing me from doing a lot of things.
    I go to settings > icloud > storage and backup > manage storage
    It says my ipad is using 63.2MB and Mail is using 113.8MB - this obviously does not add up to 5GB, yet my storage is saying I have used 4.8GB of 5GB on icloud.
    I have tried deleting the back ups and even turning off back up to icloud.  Then I turned the icloud back up on again and did a fresh back up and the result was still 4.8GB of usage wit the above statistics for ipad and Mail.
    I am so confused.  I am obviously not using 5GB of storage and don't want to purchase anymore, does anyone have any ideas of what is wrong!?
    Thanks,
    S
