ICloud Mail Storage cannot be completely purged

hey guys,
I got the message that my 5gb icloud storage is about to be exceeded. I emptied all emails on my icloud account, emptied the trash and tried everything to get rid of rid - it still counts 1.7gb of 'mail' on my storage plan overview.
any ideas?
thanks in advance!

The .me alias i replaced now with the @icloud.com.
So al the .me adressess i had (and did not use) are now @icloud.com
But if i e-mail to my e-mail adres (or alias) @icloud.com the message is rejected.
Seems that there is some development, i'll wait a little longer. The error now is:
Reason: Remote SMTP server has rejected address
Diagnostic code: smtp;550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias: *****@icloud.com
Remote system: dns;p01-asmtpout.me.com (TCP|17.172.204.247|41851|17.172.193.192|25)

Quit Mail
Go to your User's Library How to enable the User’s Library folder
Scroll down to the Mail folder
In V2 > MailData do you see Accounts.plist
Verify permissions by doing a Get Info.
You(me) Read & Write
Staff Read only
Everyone Read only
If yes, try renaming this file as AccountsOLD.plist
Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar
Log in and lauch Mail.
Do you still see your accounts? If yes, can you delete the gmail account now?
Repair Permissions might help.
1. Open Disk Utility in your Applications/Utility folder.
2. Click on the First Aid tab and select Repair Permissions
3. Click on the icon for your boot volume.
4. Click the repair permissions button.

ICloud Mail issues: "Cannot Load Mail" and "Cannot Get Mail"

I'm currently experiencing issues when trying to access iCloud Mail which is visible in two places:
- on a iOS device (iPad and iPhone): when opening Mail.app and trying to check my iCloud Inbox:
      "Cannot Get Mail" "The user name or password for 'iCloud' is incorrect."
   - on http://www.icloud.com: when clicking the Mail icon:
     "Cannot Load Mail" "Help Apple improve iCloud by reporting this problem." [Reload] [Report to Apple] [Close Mail]
Oddly enough synching Contacts and Calendar items works fine on the iOS device (so username and password are obviously correct), and logging onto http://www.icloud.com using these credentials with use of all other application icons (Contacts, Calendar, Find my iPhone) seems to work also.
I created a "free" me.com account to enable "Find my iPhone" when iOS 4 was released (which doesn't include mail), and already had a Apple ID. Presumably these got merged now, maybe contributing to the issue?
iCloud is only available to me through the web or my iOS devices, I currently don't have Lion installed.
Suggestions?

I am in the exact same boat:
I was a MobileMe subsciber who migrated to iCloud
MobileMe ID was [email protected]; Apple ID [email protected]
All iCloud services work as intended EXCEPT mail
I can access iCloud Mail by:
Mail.app in Lion
When I access my iCloud mail on my iOS devices, I get "The user name or password for 'iCloud' is incorrect." I know for a fact the password is correct, and all other services work.
When I access iCloud online, again all services EXCEPT mail work. Here, I get the "Cannot Load Mail." message
Has anyone resolved this; or is this an Apple issue? This is driving me crazy.

ICloud Mail: Alias cannot be saved

When I logged in on iCloud.com (also on my iPod Touch) my mail aliases have been disappeared! And that happens now that I wanted to switch to iCloud as mail service. Then I tried to create a new one, doesn't matter what I fill in, what label color I choose or what description I give, It just doesn't let me create an alias, the message I get is, and I try to quote: 'Your alias cannot be saved!'. That's it! I wish I could create an alias because I use my alias as, some kind, of my primary address.
I tried it in the web app, as well as in my iPod Touch, they've just vanished, gone.
To be clear: I am no mobileme user, nor have my account been transferred (mobileme -> iCloud).
Can anybody help me or does anybody has the same problem? Please let me know in this discussion topic so we can collect all these issues.

TS3992 icloud back up cannot be completed

Been trying to do the back up using icloud and its even have 3.3gb available on my 5gb alloted space. When it's almost done it just says back up couldnot be completed. I dont know why since there is enough space.

And just found out that when I connect my iphone to itunes, on the summary page it shows it is backed up to icloud and recently backed up on the same day since my wi-fi is always on.Does it mean it is backed up to icloud? Should I rely on the message on itunes regarding the back up done/ Or should the message on my iphone "back up was not completed" be a problem? I know it is already a problem since its not backing up unlike before I updated software and when there was only little available space but stillback-up was done in a jiffy.

TS3992 on iPad: How can I delete my Mail storage from my iCloud backup?

on iPad: How can I delete my Mail storage from my iCloud backup?

Did anyone ever provide a resolution, because I am having the same problem.
My iCloud backup said yesterday that over 500 MB was being used by the Mail portion of the backup. So I went into iCloud.com, deleted all of the mail in my Sent Mail folder, then emptied the trash entirely. When I did that, it got worse; it said that 1.2 GB of the iCloud backup was taken up by the Mail backup. That doesn't make any sense. That is actually the opposite of what was supposed to happen.
Today, it is back to saying that Mail takes up 609.4 MB of space in the backup, but there is next-to-nothing in any of my iCloud email folders. What is going on?
Any suggestions you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

ICloud storage says it's using 4.9 GB for mail, but iCloud Mail says no messages in any folder

I'm at a loss here.
I'm trying to clean out my iCloud Mail. All the folders it shows say no messages, but the storage stats on my devices say that Mail is using 4.9 GB.
Where is the data being used up and how can I delete it?

I might have found them...
I used a mail client to set up IMAP and grab ALL the folders it found (used Outlook 2013). For whatever reason, the iCloud Mail website doesn't even show ALL the folders.
Outlook also found 14K inbox messages that were NOT showing in the web version. ***.

TS4002 Can't create any alias in iCloud mail, see message "Cannot save alias.

Can't create any alias in iCloud mail, see message "Cannot save alias. This alias cannot be saved at this time". I tried different variations at different dates (I thought this is temporary issue) but this not helped me. Perhaps some of you have resolved this issue and can tell me how I can do it?

Do you see in account settings two email addresses - with "@me.com" and "@icloud.com"? Or only "@me.com"? In second case just wait - your account will be updated in some time. I've waiting from summer and my account was updated in one day as soon as I've start this discussion When your account will be updated - you will see in preferences two addresses, with "@me.com" and with "@icloud.com".

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.
Brendan
iPhone 6(8.1)

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.
