My aliases are not listed under Accounts in iCloud.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

I'd like to resurrect this very simple question: does no one know how to do delete an alias?
Login to your email at www.icloud.com, click the gearwheel and choose Preferences>Accounts, choose the alias in the lefthand panel and delete it with the button marked Delete Alias.
See http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a/ under "Change, deactivate, reactivate or delete and alias". Note: once deleted, you can't later reactivate an alias.
Thanks. Any advice for former mobile me aliases? I only see iCloud aliases listed.
You're welcome.
You can no longer create an @me.com alias. All new email addresses (including alias addresses) are @icloud.com addresses now.
Sorry Csound1, I posted too quickly. The OP was probably addressing you.
But for some reason my aliases are not coming up. I have a few, and I keep getting spam from one of them. I'd like to just delete the account but it's not listed (it's an @mac.com address).
PS - it says 3 of 3 aliases remaining.
You can't delete them it if they don't appear in the list, this has come up before, search the site and I'll take a look as well. I know that while you have them your limit goes from 3 to 5 but can't remember how to delete them.
All new aliases or addresses must be @icloud, you may want to keep the @mac ones. 🙂

Hey, no problem 🙂
Are you talking about the @mac.com version of your primary @icloud.com address? - i.e. having the same text before the '@'? This isn't an alias as such, and you can't delete the @mac.com version and leave @icloud.com version (and you can't delete or change the primary email anyway).
What you can do is to set up a Rule on the iCloud website to move all mail addressed to the @mac.com address to the Trash or the Junk folder.
Hi - I'm talking about all the aliases I set up long before iCloud. I set up aliases such as ilovenewyork@mac.com (not an actual alias, but you get the idea). Those come to my main@mac.com email account. I'd like to delete those...is there no way to do that?
And they do not appear on the iCloud website, correct?
Yes, that's correct. In fact, it says that u have 3 of 3 aliases remaining (which to me means that there isn't a record of me having any).
Thanks very much for your help.
Look in Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Account Information>Alias: any aliases listed there?
