IPhone showing New Old emails...?

Hi,
This last week something strange has been happening my iPhone. I had 2 old emails in my inbox that I kept for reference (they had links), then a few days ago I got 19 new emails and once I opened my inbox I realized that they were emails from the last 2 weeks that i'd already opened, read and deleted from both my iPhone and on my Hotmail inbox on my laptop.
The same thing has happened again this morning, 16 new emails that I deleted last week... anybody know what's going on? it's happened 3 times over this last week.

Yes! I've been using gmail on my iPhone 3G for a while now, and without problems. I have started syncing calendar and contacts using Google's Exchange server (m.google.com) which is also brilliant.
However, I picked up the news that Hotmail now offers POP for free so I thought I would give that a bash. Apparently it's not available in South Africa yet, so I deleted that. That was about two hours ago.
Now, every time I go into my inbox it seems that my messages are multiplying! First there were 3 identical copies (same sender, subject, time, content) of each, then 5, and now it's well over 10 copies!
I've checked gmail online and that looks normal, gmail in my Outlook is fine too. It's pretty annoying though - does anyone have an idea as to what this might be?

Mail on iPad (and iPhone) shows only old emails

Hello.
I have migrated all my gmail emails into @me.com iCloud account. After this, on my mobile devices I can only see a few recent emails and a bunch of old emails (like the once I received in 2008 & 2009). Inbox is like this:
2012: 5/6 emails
2011: 20/25 emails
2010: 150 emails
2009: 500 emails
2008: 300 emails
Sent folder is correctly shown from the most recent sent to the oldest.
Mail on MacBook shows everything as it should be.
I hope someone of you could help me to understand what's wrong.
Many thanks in advance.

Set up your email as an IMAP account.Your email provider must support IMAP for this to work.

My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.

My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it. My password doesn't work with the old email address. When I look for my old email address in the Apple ID support area it says that the ID doesn't exist. Help!!!

You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials. This deletes the account and your synced data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

Hi jackburkholder,
You will need to delete the iCloud account with your old ID, but before you can do that, you will have to go back into Manage Your Apple ID, and change your Apple ID back to the old address. Don't worry about verifying it, you just need to change it.
Then, go into Settings>iCloud and turn off Find My iPhone (it will ask you for a password - put in your current one to turn it off). Then, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and Delete the iCloud account using your current password.
Also go into Settings>iTunes & App Store, clidk on your old ID and sign out of iTunes.
Then go back to Manage Your Apple ID and put your new Apple ID back in.
Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your new Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID.
Go back into Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign on with your new Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID.
Cheers,

My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.

Your old ID connects to an icloud account containing all your data (email, contacts, etc.) If you then use a different ID, you will connect to a different account, which results in losing all your "apple" data, like emails, contacts, calendars, etc.
However, Apple IDs are also used to connect to an itunes store account, with is different. You can keep using the old itunes store ID to keep all your purchases (but if you change to a different ID, you will lose all purchased items) and use the new ID for icloud (but losing emails, contacts, etc. from the old account).

My iCloud account shows an old email address i no longer use even though I've updated my apple id with my new email information. How do I get the old email account off my iCloud

my iCloud account shows an old email address i no longer use even though I've updated my apple id with my new email information. It keeps asking me my old password to the old email address which is NOT a valid email any longer. I'm unable to manage my iCloud until this is resolved. HELP

If your Apple ID is the one that you use for making all of your purchases, it should, automatically appear in FaceTime already. How a no longer valid email address got there to begin with is a mystery to me, if in fact you do have, and have been using another Apple ID.
Go to Settings>FaceTime>Apple ID. Tap the old email address and sign out, sign in with your Apple ID. It should be verified and allow you to select it as the address that you can be reached by for FaceTime.
If that does not work, time FaceTime off, restart your iPad and then start all over again.

HT1311 Though i am signed into Apple ID with new credentials (all correct) the iMessage shows my old email address

Though i am signed into Apple ID with new credentials (all correct) the iMessage shows my old email address
I can therefore not sign in
Any suggestions please?

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new Apple ID.
Apple ID security issues -
Call Apple Care and ask for the Account Security Team. They can assist you with your issue of recovering the old Apple ID.

On facetime it shows my old email address and wont let me type in a new one

HELP!!!!!!
When I tap on facetime and switch it on, it shows my old email address that I don't have the password to, and wont let me change it on my IPHONE 4S, it just says "waiting for activation" even though I don't use that email address anymore. IT WONT LET ME CHANGE MY EMAIL ADDRESS! HELLLPPP

I had that same problem. So,
Go to Settings
Scroll down to FaceTime
Once in it, Choose add another email.
Or, turn facetime off, and then exit Settings. Tap on the FaceTime app. it should have you sign using another email.
Hope this helps!

Both iPad & iPhone only show 500 old emails

Both of my mobile devices are showing 500 old emails from 2009 what is going on ? I have tried deleteing account and re adding but no change, earlier about 4 hours ago all was fine then bang it just started to only show the 500 oldest emails

You should check what icloud is currently storing in the email server to see if it's just the devices or the emails are really gone.
Using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and then go to the email page. If all "recent" emails are gone, then someone has deleted them, most likely - do you share your icloud account with anyone else?

After recently changing my email address on my iphone 4, am now having problems signing into the apps using my apple id....I have the apps still showing the old email address...and the password has not changed....can anyone tell me how to fix this? Thank you in advance...

You've updated your iTunes account to have your new email address on it - you might need to log out of your account by tapping on it at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then log back in with the updated version of your account so as to 'refresh' the account on it.

Logout (System Preferences>iCloud) then login with the new address and password.

I just bought the 5s. It's showing the correct applie ID but the iCloud ID is showing an old email account and I can't change it

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
