OS X Mavericks :: Can't Get Rid Of Old Email On ICloud
Aug 30, 2014
OSX 10.9.4 iMac - When I try to sign into iCloud an old email address appears, one for which I don't remember the password. I have updated my profile under my apple account but the old email keeps appearing. This blocks my using iCloud.
I have set up my email on my new Mac (it is iCloud email set up in the usual way using my apple ID) and the mailbox is running so slowly, it takes 10 minutes to recognise an incoming email, even if I click get email (retrieve mail is set to 'automatic'). My iPhone and my iPad ping with a new email straight away and I have to sit and wait for it to show up on the Mac. The same email account on other devices is fine.
Even worse - when I delete emails they disappear but then show up again in the inbox straight away, nothing happens I can hit delete 5 times and it just sits there doing nothing.
I have tried removing the account from the Mac and re adding it, I've tried rebuilding the mailbox, I have tried updating the OS, I have had the apple support look at it with remote viewing and they advised I reinstall the OS which I did and so far nothing has fixed this issue.
I have had to use my iPad to go through all my emails and delete old ones in the hope that it will speed my mailbox up but its made no difference, for some reason it just will not work on the Mac.Â
I would like to send emails to all email addressess in one contact. It automatically chooses the first email in the card. Is it possible to choose all email addresses in one contact?Â
I am using Mac OS 10.4.11 and I do not plan to upgrade my OS software at this time. I am not using any wireless devices such as iPhone, iPad, or iPod. The only "wireless device" I use is my PowerMac G4 using Airport and whatever wireless signal from a modem is handy for internet connection. I am using Apple's Mail application and wish to continue using it just as it is with my existing email addresses. I currently have a MobileMe account which I'm not worried about losing when it's phased out as long as my Mail application and email continues to function. My question is do, I have to sign up with, or make the move to, iCloud in order for my Mail application and my email to continue working in the near future? I do not mind losing MobileMe and I do not mind not having iCloud if my email will work without it. I do not wish to purchase iCloud service and I hope I do not have to pay to keep my email working. I do have iDisk at the moment but I prefer to let it go rather than to continue to pay for a remote upload/download storage service, although I wouldn't mind keeping it if I don't have to pay for it.Â
I am getting the error: CANNOT GET MAIL.the user name or password for icloud is incorrect on both of my ipads, my iphone and my Macbook air. The username and password are the same that I have been using for years.
I am a former .me user that was migrated to the cloud. Unitl now, no issues with email. I cann actually sign on to mobile me but still cannot get to the email.
Not getting an email conformation for Icloud set up. I have an Icloud which was transfered from MobileMe but would like to change an email to my AppleID emial.
Yesterday I upgraded to Lion and added iCloud. I can see my email fine on my iPhone, but not at all on my MacBook Pro. I've been searching for A-B-C directions on how to use Lion and iCloud, but haven't found them yet.Â
after i upgraded my mac account to iCloud i am not able to get mail on my mac using my mac mail. i was wondering if i need to point IMAP to icloud or if there is somehting manual i need to change in order to get my mail locally on my mac versus using the web mail?
I just updated to the icloud from mobilme. The e-mail icon on my macbook pro will not update e-mail content. I have to log on to the Internet and into icloud.I would prefer the one click functionality to open my emails from the icon at the bottom of the screen.
AT 6:55 Eastern, iCloud email is not working again in the New York, Long Island area. Why has iCloud email been so unreliable? This failure has been happening on a regular basses.
Info: MacBook Pro, iOS 5.1.1, iCloud email problem
What a disaster this service is. I'm going to drop it. I've wasted countless hours with iCloud problem. And the annoying music you have to listen to when on hold! I guess that's to make you hang up
I've just transferred to iCloud and I'm trying to email 3 people with the same email. I cannot seem to get > 1 address into the "To" field. how to do this, e.g. To: aaaa@yyyy.com bbbb@zzzz.com
I let my MobileMe account expire and now when I try to use my login name from MobileMe for my email address with iCloud it's says that this email address is already taken. How can add my MobileMe email to iCloud?
os x 10.9.3..I can't see iCloud mail in os x mail, even though I activate it in the system settings. I tried to deactivate it but I can't - I get a message to do this in os x mail. So this is a vicious cycle.Â
My Apple ID is based on my AT&T email address. I created and added an iCloud e-mail address as an alternate email address to my Apple ID.I need to create a new iCloud e-mail address and use it as the alternate email address.Â
