Unable to delete iCloud email alias

I am unable to delete my iCloud email Alias sucessfully.
I have 3 alias at the moment. Two of it is correct and I am going to use it. The third was created wrongly(named spelt wrongly) and I tried to delete it. The moment i click the delete button and re-confirmed at the prompt, nothing happen. If you close the Settings menu and go back to the main interface, the alias itself is not found when u compose an email.
BUT when you sign out of iCloud, the alias you have deleted will return. If you go back to the menu right after deleting the alias earlier on, there will be an error which always appears when i repeat it(report sent to apple everytime) stating internal inconsistency error or something like that.
Now if you untick the box for "send and receieve.." for that particular alias, yes the alias itself will disppear from the list of aliases when i compose a new mail.
BUT NOW there's another bug which comes with this - when i navigate to my iPhone's mail and compose a new mail(through iCloud, i had it enabled on my phone), the alias which i have deactivated just now still REMAINS and in fact i can even send email from it! So much for deactivation.
I find it ridiculous to pay for support through Express Lane Support for this which does not belong to me(not like its a phone, duh), so i hope apple is actually looking at this and find a fix for it.
And yes, i want my deleted alias to finally be deleted.
PS: Im using Windows 7. Issue occur on both Firefox and IE

I filed a bug report weeks ago with Apple about this issue with the iCloud Mail app crashing when one tries to delete an email alias. Apple has yesterday closed the ticket, telling me that the issue is not a bug but rather a "support" issue.
In the interest of moving toward a solution for all those affected by the issue, I hope that someone who has access to free Express Lane support will take the time to see what support will do about the problem. Free Express Lane support is available to anyone who has purchased Apple hardware in the last 90 days or who has current AppleCare coverage. If someone does contact Apple support regarding the issue, please report back here so that the rest of us can know whether support reps are able to fix an affected account.
Thanks.

Unable to delete an email from a Gmail account in Mail

I am unable to delete an email from my Gmail (IMAP) account within Mail on my MacBook. I get an error message that says there are no matches with the email. It does not show in Mail on my iMac or on my Gmail account online. I have rebuilt the mailbox, but don't know any other steps to try to fix this problem.
Does anyone know how to delete this email?

Thanks for the suggestions. I did not find the message on my Gmail Internet account. I went into Mail Preferences, and used the Advanced tab under my Gmail account to uncheck "Enable this account". The account folders disappeared. When I restarted Mail and enabled Gmail again, the email was initially gone, but a few minutes later, reappeared. I don't know anything else left to do except delete the account and recreate it If you think of anything else, please let me know.
Thanks -

Why in the world am I unable to delete multiple emails at once on my new iphone 4s

Why am I unable to delete multiple emails at once from my new iphone 4s. I could easily select all emails and delete them from my old blackberry.
The process of choosing one at a time and then deleting is crazy and very time consuming. Please help.......is there a hidden method or some add on I need?

I want to select all with one button and then select delete all with another button.
The iPhone currently cannot do that. The best you can do from the iPhone is Edit, select the emails to delete and then Delete.
Another option is to use webmail (browser) and use that interface to delete mail

How to delete iCloud email

How do you delete iCloud email and I have forgot the password.

You have to provide the ID and password that were used to originally activate the device. There is no way around this. If it is your ID but you can't remember it, you can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625. If you don’t know your password you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617.
However, if it was previously owned by someone else, you have to get the ID and password from them, or have them erase it and remove it from their account as explaned here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515. No one else can help you with this.

Unable to delete aol emails

I am unable to delete any emails that come to my aol account.I get a "unable to move message, this message could not be moved to the mailbox trash." I am able to delete emails that come to my mac or gmail accounts. Any ideas why I am unable to delete aol messages?

In Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > (Your account name) > Advanced > Deleted Mailbox - set for the "On My iPhone" Trash for a POP account, or "On the Server" for an IMAP account. If it is an IMAP account, be sure the correct server mailbox is selected
or
Settings - Mail - Tap on AOL account - Tap on Advanced - Tap on SPAM so you get a check mark - Then tap on Trash on the very top so you get a check mark. Now go check AOL mail and attempt to delete.

How to delete iCloud email address and not iCloud service

how to delete iCloud email address and not iCloud service.
It is very anoying that I can't cancel icloud email address. Can someone help me?

You can't delete either the account or the email address. If you are getting messages to it you don't want to see, go to http://icloud.com and to the Mail page: click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Rules'. Then set up a Rule to move all messages to your address to the Trash.

ICloud email alias' not receiving email

i have two email alias' brought over from mobileme.com into icloud
they are imported and showing in my icloud email alias' list. however, when i email to those addresses (@me.com) the emails end up in the mailer-daemon world.
any thoughts?

OK I think I have this figured out here. Looks like a case of operator error on this end in the beginning. Sorry for all the detail below, but if it helps anyone I hope it is worth it.
1. Per suggestion of Carolyn Samit elsewhere, I went into Apple>System Preferences>Internet and Wireless>iCloud and deselected Mail and Notes. I then repeated the above, but toggled the Mail and Notes back on.
2. I sent another test message to my iCloud alias address, per the routine set out in the first post above, with a BCC back to me, which immediately appeared in the MacBook Pro Mail Inbox.
3. I left the Sent message in the Sent folder, and the BCC in the Inbox.
4. I then signed into iCloud and opened Mail.
5. Lo and Behold, my test message was in both the Sent folder and the Inbox in iCloud Mail.
Lesson to be learned from the different process I had used earlier -- iCloud mimics exactly what I had previously done on my MacBook Pro (which was not detailed above because it did not seem important at the time). Previously, after sending a test email, I immediately moved the Sent message into a special folder on the MacBook Pro, and also immediately moved the BCC copy in the Inbox into the same special folder in Mac Mail.
iCloud mimic'd these moves, so when I went there in the early stages of this process (after having already moved two emails into special folders on the laptop), there were no emails to be seen at iCloud.
This last time just now, I left the emails in my Inbox and Sent folders at the laptop, and they WERE in the corresponding folders at iCloud.
Now, to toggle off Mail and Notes in Apple System Preferences and see what happens?
Good night . .

HT201342 How delete iCloud email account?

How to delete iCloud email account? I subscribed to iCloud with hotmail email account and ended up wit another iCloud separate email account. Don't need two of them.

You can delete an account from your phone by simply tapping Delete Account, but you can't delete it from iCloud. You can only stop using it.

How to convert a new Apple ID into a iCloud email alias?

Howdy,
Just a few weeks ago, I created a second MobleMe accout for my daugher via my MobleMe family plan. The reason was that her orignal MobleMe email ([email protected]) address seemed a bit childish to her and she wanted a new "more professional" sounding address. At first I tried to create an email alias, but discovered that new alias creation had been stopped due to the looming iCloud launch, so I used one of my unused family plan accounts to create "[email protected]." Took some fooling around to get mail on her macbook to send & receive from both... but it worked and I was once again, the family IT hero!
Okay, now that iCloud has launched, and we are converting over to iCloud I wondered what to do about my daughters two email addresses. I looked around for information about just converting both xxxx & yyyy to iCloud, so my daughter could receive both emails from the same iMac mail account... but I can find nothing about that option on the inter tubes so I figured that option was unsupported.
Next I wondered if email aliases had come back, and they have! Cool, just convert [email protected] to an alias of [email protected]... but alias, you can't delete an Apple ID and I assume that I won't be able to create [email protected] as an alias as it is it's one Apple ID (otherwise, there would be a really big security hole in iCloud email ;).
What to do? Well, I can think of the following options, in order of what would be most user friendly to my daughter:
1. Convert [email protected] to an alias of [email protected]. This would be nice because I could simplify my daughters email set up (just one account, not two). Trouble is, I don't know how to do this and/or it just can't be done.
2. Create a new alias for [email protected]; [email protected]. Kind of junky as "yyyy" is pretty obvious (if you knew what it was), and [email protected] is already "out there."
3. Create two accounts on my daughters macbook; one for [email protected] and the other for [email protected]. This ***** because she'd have to logout/login to check mail on both accounts.
So... their must be a simpler way, right Apple? If so, please advise!

How to delete icloud email account and get a new one

I have been getting alot of unwanted email in my icloud account. Is there anyway to deelte an icloud email and start a new one??

You can't delete it, but you can create an email alias address to use that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a. Just be aware that an alias address cannot later be used to create a new iCloud account or be moved to a different account.
After creating your alias, you can set up an email rule at icloud.com that will send email addressed to your main iCloud email addres to the trash or junk folder, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a3f8a.

Deleting iCloud-eMail. Contact Apple Suuport?

Hello,
I want to delete my iCloud-eMail, because the nickname is out of date.
The same applies to the Communities name. ^^
I think I must contact the Apple Support.
But I found only a phone number where I have to insert a serial of my product.
Is there a general phone number, or better mail address?
Thank you for your help.
Best Regards
Somaro

You can't delete your iCloud email account. If you want to change it, you'll have to setup a completely new iCloud account attached to a different AppleID.
Alternatively, you can setup an email alias with the up to date address: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
You also cannot change your Support Communities name without setting up a new account.

Deleting iCloud email or using it as Apple ID

Today i made [email protected] email with my main @gmail.com Apple ID. Then I noticed at Apple ID page, that you cannot use @icloud.com email as your Apple ID. Ok, well how do I delete my @icloud.com email, then. I will create a new Apple ID with just iCloud email?

Unfortunately, you cannot change your primary @me.com or @icloud.com email address, you could however create an alias or create a completely new account.
