I have a @me.com email, with several aliases.
Apple (graciously) provided me with an @icloud.com email, for all of them!
I do not use, nor want to use, @icloud.com, but thank you.
I can turn off sending from @icloud.com addresses from the icloud.com website
but not from Mail (desktop).
I now have a send from list a mile long whenever I compose an email.
This is infuriating.
How do I fix this?
OS X Mountain Lion
If I am understanding you correctly, Mail/Preferences/Accounts/iCloud has an "Enable this account" box which you can deselect. If that doesn't solve your problem, you can always reselect it.
HI,
I have been given an @iCloud.com ID as well as the @me.com one for my iCloud Account.
However it does not appear in Mail (I never put it there)
Nor does it appear in System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars which is another place you can turn On Accounts for Messages, Mail, Notes an Calendars.
As you can see in my Pic I have some Accounts Turned Off (the Enable this Account option will be unticked)

No, you both misunderstand the problem. I still want to use my @me.com address.
Apple added the same addresses @icloud.com
If I turn off the iCloud account I lose both.
On the icloud.com website I can select which email addresses are to be:
I don't have that option in Mail (desktop):
This doesn't solve what you want to do.
In Mail there doesn't appear to be any option other than set default send address. The only other suggestion I can think of is to send feedback to Apple:
When you set the option on the website, it's supposed to also bleed down to your mail.app. I just tested, and it worked on my system, leaving only my @me.com address usable in the 'from' field. One thing I did notice, I had to actually log out of icloud.com before it took affect on my computer (or it just kicked in and synced during that time - this is more likely).
HI,
I understood that you wanted to use the @me.com Apple ID.
What I was saying was that Apple sent me and Email about the @icloud.com name and it was not added automatically to the Mail app or the Mail, Contacts adn Calendars part of System Preferences.
Separately I have checked out that I can use the @iCloud.com name as a Valid AIM name (Like @mac.com and @me.com ones) and I can.
AS you can see this did add it to Mail, Contacts and Calendars but only as a Messages app ID.
I have not linked them (the original ID I used to create the iCloud ID or the @me.com name I got at the time).
All allow me access to the iCloud web page, the iTunes Store and to be able to post here.
I also showed that I had "registered" for both the POP server and IMAP server fro my Google ID and had one turned Off in the Mail App.
Having said that if I visit the iCloud > Mail web site and bring up the Preferences > Accounts it only lists the @me.com and @iCloud.com names (And not the creating Apple ID ).
The @icloud one does seem to have become the "Send From Address if I were composing Mail here.
In testing from my Google Account to my @me.com name it does not get moved to @iCloud.com and neither does any return email. (Despite the setting at iCloud it keeps to the Mail settings).

For my information, how did you delete the alias iCloud.com? When I went to Mail preferences on iCloud there was no apparent way to delete it. The help (?) stated you could uncheck the box to have it not active, but there were no boxes for me.com or iCloud.com.
HI Eric,
It seems it can be turned Off in the Composing section of the On Line Settings rather that actually deleted.
I must admit to never looking at this Apple Doc
Nothing I see in the Doc hard links the @me.com and @icloud IDs together.

Thanks Ralph. It was the deleted that was confusing me, not that it takes much.🙂
You're welcome.
Delete in the Mail App (or turn Off)

Do it from the website then, Mail uses the same server.
