MobileMe and iCloud accounts in Mail on my iPhone

In Oct 2011 a user wrote:
"I updated to iCloud and now I have both MobileMe and iCloud accounts in Mail on my iPhone 4s. I don't have the option to delete the MobileMe account so now I have two of the same account under different names. How do I delete the MobileMe and keep the iCloud?"
The following response solved that users issue:
"Open the MobileMe preferences in System Preferences, sign out. Open the Mail, Contacts, Calendars preferences and either turn off the MM account or delete it. The MM account will disappear at the end of June 2012.  You can delete any MM account you have currently turned on in your iPhone's settings."
I have the same issue, and that helpful response does not apply in my situation.  On my Mac, I am signed out of my MobileMe account; the Mail, Contacts, Calendars preference does not show a MobileMe account, just iCloud. 
On my iPhone, Mailboxes in Mail shows my MobileMe address and iCloud entries - both mailboxes/accounts show the same folders and messages. Also, in Settings' Mail, Contacts, Calendars the Accounts does not have a MobileMe entry, just iCloud.
Mailboxes in Mail on my iPad 2, on the other hand, does not show the MobileMe address; it only shows the iCloud entry.
Any recommendations on how to remove the MobileMe entry on my iPhone?

Don't count on it!  Both my iPad and iPhone4S are on 5.1 and both are having problems right now!

  • MobileMe and iCloud accounts

    After installing iOS5, I now have a MobileMe account AND an iCloud account in the mail settings on my iPad 2.  This means double the mail.
    This did not happen on my iPhone 4, which only shows an iCloud account.
    Can I safely delete the MobileMe account on the iPad?
    TIA!
    Bob

    hey everybody!
    i have the same problem with my iphone; in the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" settings there is only a listing for iCloud, but when i look at my mailboxes, there is a listing for MobileMe as well as two for iCloud. i also would like to delete the MobileMe-mailbox, but it does not appear in the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" list.
    i also rebooted my iOS device but the problem is still here

  • TS3988 My icloud account is not verifying it says check my mail witch I have done and I get a message say your iPhone for has been used to set up and Icloud account but still can not use the icloud can anybody help me.

    My icloud account is not verifying it says check my mail witch I have done and I get a message say your iPhone for has been used to set up and Icloud account but still can not use the icloud can anybody help me.

    Be sure you are checking the email account that you used to set up the Apple ID you used to create the iCloud account.  Also, be sure to check your spam/junk folder as well as your inbox.  The email you should receive looks like the image below.  When you get it, click the Verify Now link.
    If it still isn't there, try going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right look for a link to resend the verification email.

  • Following = Impossible; no such option in mail preferences - iCloud Mail couldn't be enabled from the iCloud Preference Pane. Open Mail and add your iCloud account from Mail preferences.

  • How do I make one (and only one) device use my Apple ID and iCloud account?

    How do I make one (and only one) device use my Apple ID and iCloud account? I currently have an iPad mini, iPhone 5, and MacBook pro attached to my apple accounts, but I want only my iPhone 5 to be assosiated with either one. Whenever I use any of the three devices, I get a notification on the other two telling me that these devices are now using these accounts from these services, etc. and I want these notifications to stop, along with the devices using to them. How do I do this? I completely reset the iPad mini so I don't know how I'm still getting notifications from it, and I deleted and signed of of all of my accounts everywhere I could find on my Mac. So, to restate exactly what I want to do, I want ONLY my iPhone 5 to use ANY of my Apple/iCloud accounts and ONLY it can receive emails, iMessages, and FaceTime calls. Thanks!

    If you want to disconect your Mac from iCloud, go to System Preferences>iCloud and click Sign Out.  If you only want to stop using iCloud email, just uncheck Mail.  To stop iMessage, open the Messages app, go to Messages>Preferences, click the Accounts tab, click your iCoud ID on the left-hand side, then to the right click Sign Out.  To stop FaceTime, open the FaceTime app, then click "Apple ID" then click Sign Out.
    On your iPad, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account (or if you only want to stop using iCloud email, turn Mail off).  For FaceTime, go to Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID and sign out.  For iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID and sign out.

  • HT4910 I can't find my notes in my iCloud account. I checked my iPhone 4, and it says that they are still being saved to the iCloud. Where did they go?

    I can't find my notes in my iCloud account. I checked my iPhone 4, and it says that they are still being saved to the iCloud. Where did they go?

    I'm not familiar with the PC end of things, but in a recent post I read about someone using notes.exe to access notes (I'm assuming they knew what they were talking about) - would your installation of icloud app(s) include a notes program?  At least do this, log into icloud.com with a computer browser and look in mail.  There should be a notes "folder" listed along with the others you may have defined.  Are you notes there?  If not, that's the problem.  Be sure notes is turned on in Settings>icloud on your device.  if they are there, then it looks like the PC end is the problem - but I can't provide help concerning that.

  • Duplicate iCloud Accounts in Mail after Yosemite Upgrade

    Since upgrading to Yosemite, I now have two iCloud accounts in Mail (but not in other applications like Notes or Contacts).
    Both appear under Mail/Preferences/Accounts, but when I try to delete one I get the message: "The Mail Account [email protected] is shared by other applications on this Mac. You can remove this account in Internet Accounts". Yet when I click through to Internet Accounts, only one iCloud account exists.
    I have tried logging out of my iCloud account and restarting as suggested in another post. The original iCloud mail account remains whether logged in or not, but doesn't show up at all in "Internet Accounts" so I am unable to delete it.
    Appreciate any suggestions.

    Hi, sorry but I didn't keep track of exactly what I did. But I think it was:
    While logged into iCloud, I opened Mail/Preferences/Accounts and adjusted the username in the newer iCloud account to make it the same as the username for the original iCloud account (this one was greyed out). A warning came up asking me if I wanted two iCloud accounts with the same name. I clicked yes.
    I then logged out of iCloud, and restarted my computer. Going back to Mail/Preferences/Accounts I was now able to delete the original iCloud account.
    Finally, I logged back in to iCloud and the new iCloud account showed up in Mail.
    Hope that helps. And that I remembered correctly!

  • TS4002 Incorrect Mail count on iCloud account in Mail on MacBook Pro only; running Lion

    My iCloud account in Mail always displays 1 unread email message even when all are read or if there are multiple unread emails.  The iCloud account on the iPhone displays the read email count correctly.  iCloud mail works properly in every other aspect.

    Actually, when you choose the "Unread Mail only" option it removed the ability to pick which mailbox to designate, so it chose all mail messages, even those I had in imported mailboxes and are offline.  I had to go in and mark all of those as "read" even though they were offline, (during the "archive" process it remarked all of them as unread) so that I could eliminate them as a source of the problem.
    This issue occured after I had to do a clean install of Lion a while back due to a problem with the OS install the first time around.  I've just lived with it.  I just upgraded to iOS6 on my iPhone and was building the courage to install Mountain Lion.  I figured I should resolve the iCloud problem before I went down that road. 
    I want to avoid having to go through the clean install process again.

  • If i have a work ipad with a work email and a shared icloud for all employees, can i set up a second itunes and icloud account with a separate email address on the same ipad for my personal stuff?

    i am a teacher and my school has given all of us a ipad to use. it is set up with my school email and a shared itunues and icloud account. they have told us we can use it for anything that can be used for education purposes. i have downloaded books and other items that i have marked up for my use. however if there is ever a problem i cant identify my applications or books if other teachers have downloaded the same apps or books as well as my documents. is there a way to set up a 2nd itunes account and icloud account so that i may use that when backing up anything that would be personalized by me so that i can find what is rightfully mine. they are ok with it but were unsure how to do this, so can anyone help me? thanks

    Sorry, you cannot use more than one iTunes account at a time.

  • HT204150 Sharing the same iTunes, Apple ID and iCloud accounts.

    Hi
    My wife and I share the same Itunes , Apple Id and Icloud accounts.
    How do we keep our contacts seperate, when we open up or back up on I cloud?
    As we both have I phones, I would like to keep all my work contacts seperate from hers. Also I don't wish to have her contacts loaded on my phone and vice verser.
    Will it mean the I will have to get a seperate apple ID and seperate Icloud account.
    Problem is that all our music and photos are on the one Library, because we didn't have two Iphones before, it didn't matter.
    We would like to keep the same Itunes library to access music and photos, but like to keep everything else seperate.
    Can you please help.
    Regards
    shervhall

    You can continue to share the same ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores (your iTunes account/library), but you need to have separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs to prevent merged data such as contacts.  (You aren't required to use the same ID for purchasing as you do for other services such as iCloud, iMesage, FaceTime, etc.)  The only issue is that photo stream is tied to the iCloud account so when you separate your accounts, you will no longer be sharing the same photo stream.  You can still send each other shared photo streams in order to share each other's photos, but they wouldn't be part of the same photo stream.
    To separate your iCloud accounts, on the device that will be changing accounts, go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on the device.  (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your device.)  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The device that will be keeping the existing account will not be effected by this.)  Next, set up a new iCloud account on this device using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.  At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
    You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the unwanted data (such as deleting the other wife's contacts from your account, and vice versa).  These changes will be reflected on each phone.  When finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data on them.
    To avoid getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls you also need to use separate IDs for iMessage and FaceTime.  To change the ID for iMessage on one of the devices, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign in with a separate ID (such as the new iCloud ID).  To change the ID for FaceTime on this device, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

    As you already knew, no, you cannot create a new iCloud account from anything but the above devices.

    oh ok    and then i need to create another id for her? would we lose all our stuff?
    thank you so much!!!!
    Well, yeah.  You want to create separate accounts for each of you, using individual Apple IDs.  I know mothers and daughters like to share clothes, shoes, handbags, etc. but don't share Apple IDs.
