My icloud email account needs help...

my icloud email account for past 5 days keeps returning "sent emails" that i have NOT sent . I have over 2000. How do I stop this and fix this problem?

There's pretty much nothing you can do. Someone is using your email address as their return address to send out spam. Of course, every time delivery fails, YOU get the failure notice instead of them...

Forgot icloud email. Need HELP

i recently reset my entire iphone 4s & when i try to activate it is asks me for my icloud email & password which i no longer remember

Hello Jonathan,
It sounds like you need to find your Apple ID email address and possibly reset the password as well. I have 2 articles that should help you get that accomplished. First to help find your ID:
Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625?viewlocale=en_US
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com) and click “Find your Apple ID”.
Enter your first name, last name, current email address, and any prior email addresses that you might have used to create an Apple ID. Apple uses this information to search for Apple IDs.
If no Apple IDs are found, follow the onscreen instructions to create an Apple ID.
If one Apple ID is found, choose whether to receive an email from Apple or answer security questions. Both options will conclude by asking you to reset your Apple ID password. Follow the instructions provided.
If multiple Apple IDs are found, select the one that matches your current email address. Then choose whether to receive an email from Apple or answer security questions. Both options will conclude by asking you to reset your Apple ID password. Follow the instructions provided.
And for resetting your password if needed:
Apple ID: Changing your password
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5624
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
Click “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID. If you're unable to receive messages at your trusted device, follow the guidelines for what to do if you can't sign in with two-step verification.
Click "Password and Security".
In the "Choose a new password" section, click Change Password.
Enter your old password, then enter a new password and confirm the new password. Click Save when done.
The next time you use an Apple feature or service that uses Apple ID, you'll be asked to sign in with your new Apple ID password.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

I need help to delete my iCloud email account.

Where can I contact when I need to ask Apple deleting my iCloud email account? And please tell me how to remove the iCloud email from my iPhone! Thank you!

You cannot delete an iCloud account from the server, but you can remove it from your phone by going to Settings>iCloud and clicking 'Delete Account' (this does not remove the account from the server).
You should then go to http://icloud.com and delete any data there you want to, and then just ignore it.

I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wires apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wires apple id for iTunes?

I just got my daughter a new macbook pro. She currently shares my wifes apple id for iTunes on her iTouch. I need to set up an email account for her. Is there any way to set up a new iCloud email account but still use my wifes apple id for iTunes?

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

Why do I need a separate ICloud email account?

Not sure why I created or was made to create an iCloud email account? Can someone instruct me?

What you're doing is setting up a new iCloud account. You need to move your existing MobileMe account to iCloud.
Do that here: http://www.me.com/move/
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4918 for more information.

Deleting iCloud email account on iPad 2, help please

Can I delete my iCloud email account, with was set up by mistake,without losing my pictures, books, photos, etc that have been saved to iCloud? I lost all my photos/ videos, other material when I hooked the iPad to the pc to load my pictures to the pc. I was told I should have iCloud, which I didnt before and everything worked fine. The icloud backup is using all my storage and i think i can delete, but it says i will lose all my photo syreams, etc if i delete. I want to delete the ICloud email, which I can't use or access anyway. Any help appreciated.

You should be able log out of the account via Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and you can then log back in with the updated version of your account

HT4864 I'm confused with the syncing of email with Icloud. Do I need to use the new Icloud email account instead of my existing outlook accounts?

I set up Icloud and an icloud email account in outlook 2010. The calendar dates transferred to my Iphone but nothing of the emails. The only email that go to my iphone are those that go to the new Iphone email account in outlook. Do I have to use the Icloud email account instead of my existing outlook accounts in order for my email to sync? If not what can I do to get my outlook email to sync with my iphone? Thanks.

iCloud only "syncs" data in the iCloud account, not data in other external accounts such as Gmail, Yahoo, etc. If your email, contacts and calendars are hosted by another external account, such as Gmail/Google, you may want to not sync this data using iCloud as you would have import it all to the iCloud account in order to do so. Instead, add your external account to your iOS devices and in Settings>Mail,Conacts,Calendars>Add Account and turn on contacts and calendar syncing with your external account.

My iCloud email account won't sign in!

My iCloud email account won't sign in. Every time i try to long on it say "Unable to verify account name or password". I just reset the password to what i thought was my iCloud account, but ended up just being my apple ID. It signs in on my iphone with the password i try to type in to my Mac but it says it's wrong, help??

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

Making changes to iCloud email account

My iCloud email has a heritage MobileMe preference in place whereby another account (hotmail) receives a copy of the mail sent to iCloud email (via MobileMe). How do I change the iCloud email account to delete this old preference?

Here ya go:
Rescue email address
A rescue address helps secure your Apple ID account against unauthorized access by someone who gains control of your primary address. If you have a rescue address, it receives all security-related Apple ID email instead of your primary address, including the email needed to reset your password or security questions.
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
Select “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
Select “Password and Security” on the left side of the page. You may be asked to answer one or more security questions before continuing. Forgot the answers?
If you see a list of three security questions, your account has the option to use a rescue address.
Accounts that have fewer than three questions don't have and don't need a rescue address.
Accounts that use two-step verification don't have and don't need a rescue address or security questions.
Add a rescue address:
Select Add Email Address, then enter your rescue address. Apple will send a verification email to that address. Didn't receive the email?
Follow the instructions in the email to verify the address. If you don't verify the address, security-related email continues to go to your primary address.
Edit a rescue address:
Select Edit next to the address, then enter the new address. Apple will send a verification email to that address. Didn't receive the email?
Follow the instructions in the email to verify the address. If you don't verify the address, security-related email continues to go to your primary address.
Delete a rescue address: Select Delete next to the address.
Cheers,
GB

Is it possible to use a iCloud email account to receive emails from Apple/iTunes/AppStore?

I an wondering if it's possible somehow to receive all the emails from Apple, iTunes Store or App Store (that normally go to the Apple ID email address) to the iCloud email account (@me.com, @icloud.com) instead.
Thank you.

Yes:
Create a new exisitng mail account for the existing gmail email address.
File > New > Exisitng Mail account
or
Menu icon > New Messages > Exisitng Mail account.
The Thunderbird Mail account wizard window will appear.
Enter your name
Enter full email address
Enter password - the same one you use to logon to see your gmail emails in your webmail account.
Select to remember password.
Click on Continue.
Thunderbird will look up the configuration files.
Usually, it auto checks for IMAP, so you should not need to alter anything.
When it has located server settings, click on 'Done'.
this will create the imap mail account in Thunderbird.
Once this has been done, check settings.
You can locate them either;
Tools > Account Settings for the mail account
or
Menu icon > Options > Account Settings
or
right click on mail accoutn in FolderPane and select 'Settings'.
This link tells you what the settings should be. You will need to select the 'Thunderbird' option to see full info.

Additional helpful info:

Suggest you do not subscribe to see 'All Mail' folder.
It is only gmails archive of all your emails, so subscribing to see this folder will double the size of your profile and may cause some slowdown in performance.

ICloud email account and Outlook 2010 - can receive but not send email

I've set up Outlook 2010 with iCloud email account. I receive email, but cannot send. Get the message "You don't have permission..., right-click and make default..." Which I have done. Still doesn't work.
Can anyone help ?
Thanks in advance.

It is possible that your Internet service provider requires you to send on a certain port with a certain name.
The outgoing server name should start with imap...
If you have a service that requires you to send via a different server - then use that server to send, but log on to it with your usual name (for example you might send from an AT&T Yahoo! server on the ports they recommend if you have AT&T DSL and login with something like [email protected] for the outgoing server - but you can probably still set the From Address to [email protected]). Actually I haven't needed to make this change for my iCloud account, but the change I did have to make was to change the outgoing server name from p08.imap... to imap... - the iCloud client software did not install the right incoming or outgoing mail server names.
If that fails - set up a New Outlook.pst file - from the file menu.

Setting up new icloud email account

Do I need to set up a new account and apple ID to get a new icloud email account? Its askling me to set up my account so I guess my question is when asking to set up new apple ID, this is not the id and password I use to access itunes and things like that right? Sorry, Im a little new to this

Hey meharazim,
Try turning off your iPhone, and then going to the Apple ID website to see if you can edit/update your information. I'll include some information below inclucing a link to the Apple ID Support team if you need help straightening this out.
Once you have the Apple ID straightened out, if you are still not able to delete the iCloud account, you may need to restore the iPhone as a new device.

ICloud email account password problems

After initial password and login problems my iCloud email account now works fine in most cases.

I have set up an iCloud email account in my name on my iPad and wish to set one up for my husband in his name. I can't seem to find how to do this. Am I only allowed one email address? If not can someone talk me through this. Thanks

I wish to set up an alias address on my iPad. My iCloud address has already been established and I can find no way to get into my account to add any alias.

You can create up to 3 alias addresses but you have to do this on icloud.com from your computer browser. This article explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622. Also, incoming email to an alias address will go to your current iCloud inbox so it really isn't a separate account; just a different email address for the same account.
Each iCloud account only has a single iCloud email account. If you really want to set up another, you would need to add a secondary iCloud account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, then entering a different Apple ID to create the account. You can then turn on Mail to create the new account. Mail in secondary accounts, however, is fetch email, not push (which is only supported in the primary account).
