Iphone 4s showing duplicate email account @me and cloud

I just purchased a new Macbook Air and was setting up the cloud services on my phone and on my new MB Air.  I've had the phone for a while, and had set up the email account on the phone as my mobile me account.  When I set up the cloud service on my MB Air and on my Iphone 4s, I was asked to merge the account from the mobile me to the icloud service.  I followed all the instructions and everything worked like a charm - contacts updated to my devices, photos etc.  However I just noticed a problem on my iPhone, which now when I look at my email icon, it says 66 emails, when I open it up, it showing 2 accounts, both say iCloud, however one is the actual iCloud icon and the other has the mobile me cloud icon.   When I went into my settings on my iphone, I figured I'd just go and delete the mobile me email account, however it says (iCloud - account says my mobile me email address). 
I'm not sure i want to delete the account, because if I uncheck the Mail (turn it off), all of my emails go away.  When I turn it on, it shows duplicate email accounts.
I must be doing something wrong, but have been racking my brain for the last hour or so and I just can't seem to figure it out.
Any help???

I actually worked it out - I deleted it and started it back up again - not sure why it did it in the first place, but I did find others who had the problem and explained how to fix it:

  • TS3899 "cannot get mail" in iphone5 suddenly. been using iphone to check 2 email accounts for months now, one is gmail and not troubled. the other is thunderbird and i get this error message now. no settings have been changed or anything! ideas?

    hey all, I have been getting the "cannot get mail" error message on my iphone5 suddenly.
    ive been using iphone to check two email accounts for months now, one is gmail and not troubled. the other is mail from thunderbird and i get this error message now saying it is not responding. no settings have been changed or anything, it just suddenly stopped receiving mail on my device as of Tuesday afternoon.
    Does anyone have iny ideas about why? i have yet to update to the new OS7 yet, could that be it?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

    You most likely did not change the password in the outgoing mail server section of your email account.
    Go to Settings > Mail, Contact, Calendars > your email account > Advanced > Outgoing Mail Server
    Re enter the correct user name and password in the outgoing Mail server section even though it may say that these are optional.

  • Can't get rid of duplicate email accounts itunes imports from outlook

    Hey everybody,
    iTunes imports my email account information from Outlook and for some reason it finds duplicate email accounts. I only have one .pst file which only has one of each email account attached to it but iTunes finds duplicates.
    So in iTunes, when I tick one of a duplicate account and click apply the other duplicate will tick itself.
    I have no idea what is going on and I'm tempted to reinstall outlook, itunes, delete my pst file, restore my iPhone and just start all over again!
    But I really don't want to do that.

    Have the same problem. Sometimes end up with in excess of 10 duplicated calendars (they show as "all mobileme calendars" but do not have the individual calendars listed) on my iphone although the correct calendars only appear once on both mobileme and Mac. Have never had sync turned on in itunes.
    A tiresome workaround to delete these from the phone is to go into settings/mail,contacts,calendar/your mobileme account and turn calendars off. Say yes to delete calendar on iphone. When this is finished turn calendars back on, then exit and open the calendar. One duplicate should have been removed. Repeat ad infinitum.
    Problem is the duplicates keep coming back (even without connecting to the Mac). Anyone with ideas for a permanent solution?

  • Yesterday I changed my email password on my home computer.  Today, I can't get any new emails on my Samsung Galaxy 4; I deleted the email account entirely and tried to set it up again as a new account, using the new password, but it keeps giving me an err

    Yesterday I changed my email password on my home computer.  Today, I can't get any new emails on my Samsung Galaxy 4; I deleted the email account entirely and tried to set it up again as a new account, using the new password, but it keeps giving me an error message that reads: Cannot safely connect to server.  The new password is working on my home computer.  I even tried the old password; it just gave me the same error message.

    I'm sorry you're having issues with your e-mail account on your phone Rusty1112. Let's figure out what's going on. First, please try deleting account/information again and then restart phone. When phone is back on, try adding e-mail account again, and be sure you're entering exactly as you set up, meaning its case-sensitive. If you're still getting same error, please let us know and let us know what e-mail account it is, Yahoo, AOL, MSN, etc.
    Thank you,

    How identical are they? If not, delete the "right" one...

  • Why does my iphone 6 show 700 songs on it and itunes says that there are no songs on my phone?

    why does my iphone 6 show 700 songs on it and itunes says that there are no songs on my phone?

    The "streaming" that iTunes Match does is not the traditional streaming we are used to. iOS 6 actually downloads the song to non-permanent memory on the iOS device in a cache. The advantage of this is it then makes the tracks available for listening to again without having to stream it again. You can clear out the cache by either power cycling the device or disabling/enabling iTM. I prefer doing the former.

  • Two iPhones with one email account, notes and alerts from separate users show up on each others phones

    My husband and I have always shared a personal email account. We got iPhones a year ago and each set them up to view our shared email. He also has a separate email account for work. Unfortunately, when either of us takes a "note" on the notepad or sets an alert on the calendar, it shows up on the other person's phone. I assume these aps use the email to sync?  Is there a way to manage this so that we can share email but not the other stuff?  We set up separate iCloud accounts with separate apple ID's thinking that would do it but it didn't change anything.

    goto settings>mail,contacts,calenders>accounts and under your shared email account disable notes and calender.
    hope this helps

  • My iPhone 3GS (iOS5) shows default email as AOL (and sends as AOL) but recipient gets it as my live.co.uk account. Any ideas how to stop this??

    I'm having a recurring issue on my iPhone 3GS. Latest iOS is loaded (last night) but for several months now I've noticed that email sent to me on my aol account and read on my iPhone, if i respond it is received from my live.co.uk account. The email reply clearly shows aol as the sending account and under settings AOL is shown as the default. I have even tried deleting my live.co.uk account from the iPhone, but the problem still happens.
    It's annoying as further replies then go to my live account and it is just getting messy.
    Any ideas on how to stop this from occurring?
    Thanks

    The default email account selection has nothing to do with the email account used when reply to and forwarding a message received by an account.
    Have you tried deleting and recreating the AOL account?
