  • I would like to check my Icloud email account how can i do it?

    I had an Iphone 4 n i upgrade it to samsung Galaxy s4 mini. can i still check my Icloud account on line, to see if i have received emails/

    Add your iCloud email account to your Galaxy using these settings: iCloud: Mail server settings for email clients.

  • 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).

  • For an iCloud and/or Windstream email account, how can I delete emails across multiple devices, without having to go to each device?

    I have a friend with an iCloud email account and Windstream account on both her iPad and iPhone... She's saying that when she deletes an email from one device, it doesn't delete it from the other automatically... She's using both emails through the "Mail, Contacts and Calendars" settings under the "Settings" menu; not through apps...  I've had her check both of her email account settings to make sure that the settings were consistent... I've never had this issue with Exchange or Gmail, and I don't use the iCloud email account, so I'm a little unfamiliar with what else to look at... Can someone offer some advice, please?
    Thank you for your help!

    IMAP is the mail protocol that allows you to delete a message one place and have it delete everywhere else. iCloud uses IMAP, so it should be working. If the messages never delete, then something may be incorrect in the settings. The easiest thing to do with iCloud is to logout of the account on every device, and then login again. (Another common problem with iCloud email is people often have two Apple IDs, and thus may have two iCloud email accounts. If you get confused about which one you're using, you may think you've deleted email when you actually haven't.)
    If the iCloud messages do ultimately delete across all devices, then it could be that some devices aren't set to "Push" but are instead set to "Fetch" the newest info from the server. Fetch can be set to as long as an hour between check-ins.
    The same holds true for Windstream if she's using an IMAP account there, too. If it's a POP account, then deleting a message one place will never delete it anywhere else—that's the way POP works.

  • TS4002 How do I re-add an existing iCloud email account to iPad 2?

    I set up iCloud email OK on my new iPad 2. I did not previously have a MobileMe account. When the email stopped working (I got repeated messages to say server unavailable) I followed Apple instructions to delete the account from the iPad with the intention of re-adding it.
    When I try to do this, it always wants to make me create a new @me.com email address, and I can't find a way to tell it my existing one. If I try to add my existing address, it tells me that it is taken and I have to choose another (of course it's taken, it's mine!)
    I can login to anything that requires an Apple ID (iTunes Store, Apple ID pages, iCloud.com etc.) with either my actual Apple ID or my existing @me.com email address and all the features on iCloud.com except Mail work fine, including Locate my iPad, Documents, Contacts, Calendar. The email address is also set up manually in Mail on my MacMini (OS 10.6.8) and still works from there. I don't wish to upgrade to 10.7 because I have some programs that won't work on that.
    How do I tell my iPad that I already have an iCloud email account @me.com?

    I have solved this - partially. I deleted the iCloud account from my iPad, rebooted it, then re-added it using my @me.com address as my AppleID instead of my primary AppleID. These are still linked to one another.
    The iPad still says it cannot contact the iCloud server, so in the Advanced pane of the Mail settings, Outgoing Mail Server, I have allowed it to use the outgoing server of another email address of mine.

  • TS4002 How do I delete my iCloud email account?

    How do I delete my iCloud email account?  I do not want it.  Apple now is forcing its use where before it was using my Windows Mail.  for example, I have iCloud installed on my Windows 8 PC.  I am sharing Contacts with my iPads and iPhones.  I use to be able to to open Contacts on my PC and click on an email address and the Windows Live Mail program using my primary email account would open to compose and send a message to the Contact's address.  Now when I click on an email address iCloud Mail opens.  So, I want to delete the iCloud mail account since I will not be using it and hopefully Contacts will again default to my real mail.

    Finally, you have answered my question!
    I told you that you cannot delete an iCloud email account in my second reply, immediately after you clarified that you were referring to iCloud.com, not the Windows Live Mail application you actually mentioned in your first post. I also provided a link to instructions showing you how to restore the connection between Windows Contacts and Windows Live Mail.
    I cannot help but note that it is absolutely absurd to not allow the deletion of an email account in an ISP or Cloud environment.
    Tell Apple at: http://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html then. Nobody here can do anything about that.
    You don't listen we'll, or read carefully for understanding before jumping to conclusions.
    You are unable to describe a problem accurately or coherently, or read and comprehend the simple answers you receive.
    I seriously wonder if you knew an iCloud email account could not be deleted.
    I seriously wonder if you can read - since I told you exactly that in my second reply.
    Rest assured that these exchanges will be brought to Apple Support management attention.
    This is a user-to-user support forum. You are not conversing with Apple Support staff here, so their management will not care. However, feel free to show them so they can see how quickly I answered your questions after you clarified exactly what you were asking.
    I wish I could offer you personal counseling in an effort to help you overcome these limitations that will likely stifle your career.
    Don't worry, I wouldn't accept it anyway, as you have no idea what my career is. However, I do have something that would definitely help you... Go here and treat yourself: http://www.readingglasses.com/

  • How can I remove an icloud email address if i have forgotten the password?

    How can I remove an ICloud email address that's on my IPhone if I have forgotten the password?  I have tried to reset the password through Apple ID but I no longer have access to the email address and its not recognising my birthday

    If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases'  - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
    More information on aliases here:

    If you want to keep her email separate from yours she will need to create a new Apple ID, and use it to create a new iCloud account either on a separate computer or on a separate User Account on your Mac.

  • How do I remove an entire email account from mail if it does not allow me to click "remove mailbox"?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately you can't delete accounts, you also can't change or remove iCloud addresses.

  • HT4759 Downloaded iCloud but how do I get an iCloud email account

    Songs from my Ipod touch transfered from to my pc and are no longer on the ipod. how do i get them back onto the device. They don't belong to me...lol

    You seem to be asking two different questions.  You get an iCloud email account by going to Settings>iCloud on your iPod Touch, signing in with your Apple ID to create your iCloud account, then turning Mail to On.
    If the songs you are talking about were purchased from the iTunes store using someone else's Apple ID and your computer is not authorized for this ID, they will be removed from your iPod when you sync.  They can only be synced back from the iTunes library that is authorized for the ID they were purchased with.

  • HT204053 I setup an apple id using my gmail email address from my iphone and then I decided to change my email to icloud.  So I setup an icloud email account. Now I want to change my apple id to my icloud email account, but it wont let me.  How can I merg

    I just got an iphone recently and I started my apple id using my gmail email address. I decided to change email from gmail to icloud so I setup an icloud email account and now I have two apple id accounts.  All my primary information is in the gmail apple id account and i just want to merge the two together.  I've tried changing the apple id on the main account to the icloud email, but it says it already exists.  How can I merge these two accounts without deleting one or the other?
    Thanks

    You can't merge iCloud accounts.
    You could move all your calendars contacts etc over from the account you don't want to the one you do, it's not simple but about all I can suggest.

  • How can I delete my iCloud email accounts?

    How can I delete my iCloud email accounts? I no longer own any apple devices and find that the email is at best unreliable. Also, I am having to deal with a good portion of daily tasteless spam content at the original @me.com address. As I no longer have any apple devices I wouldn't mind having the whole iCloud account deleted. I have already erased all of my information from the icloud.com site.

    Then that is all you can do.
    You currently can not delete an iCloud account.

  • How do I remove an OWA email account from my E71

    I need to work out how to remove a OWA email account from my E71. I have seen various replies for removing email account but not for OWA.
    I have already looked in Installations --> Emailon3 --> but the account I want to delete is not listed there.
    Have also tried Communic. --> Messaging --> Options --> Settings --> E-mail --> Options --> Delete but the delete option is not there.
    I need to remove the account because I changed my account password at work and then was unable to update the password in the phone, I had to install the account a second time to get it working again. Any suggestions for avoiding this in the future also gratefully received!  
    Thanks!

    In the Messaging application, it seems from your description that you didn't go deep enough: Options > Settings > E-mail > Mailboxes.
    There choose/select/highlight the mailbox you wish to delete and hit 'C' (or Options > Delete).
