How to close a MAC email account

Thank you Roger for your rely. Essentially the method proposed by you is to "ignore" the emails from the account which I want to drop.

I pay $99 / year for the main account. I can't find this link to "erase" this account from the main account. The extra charge per new email address I think was

$10 per additional email address associated to the main one. I can't find that "page" on the website to "delete" that email address, thereby saving $10 per additional email. I want to stop the $10 / year payment to this email address and stop using this email address for business..

Finally, ignoring this email address by deleting it from the main account does not "remove" it from the cloud. Right? I guess it dies from inactivity.

Yes? That is what happened to all the AOL accounts I had - I switched to MAC.com and forgot about AOL. The company will be dissolved and the emails going to that account will accumulate but receive no reply.

Thank you.

that was an old Apple account for subscribing to Apple email account....I see what I have done....I am clumping two things together. Old Apple practice with emails and new iCloud. So that is why I can't find the "payment page" for additional emails.... Thank you!

I deleted the account from Account on Mail. I am now receiving emails to this address in the Junk file.

How can that be?

Yes, they existed before iCloud and were "converted" to the @me.com account. So that means on my MAC laptop, I can delete the account but it will never disappear --I merely am ignoring it. However, spam mail to this address will always exist and be sent to my junk mail folder. Can I undelete this account and block "all" messages into that address? Or divert it to an email address and let it ricochet indefinitely?

You say you have an @icloud.com address, so, an iCloud account. Are these addresses part of the same account - i.e. is the text before the @mac.com and @me.com the same as the text before the @icloud.com? (Don't post what it is.) If so, it's all part of the same account, not separate acocunts, and you can't remove the @mac.com and @me.com versions. REPLY: I BEGAN THE MAC ACCOUNT BEFORE ICLOUD EXISTED. THEN I WAS FORCED TO CONVERT IT TO AN ICLOUD ACCOUNT. I GUESS THAT IS WHEN THE "SUBSCRIPTION" OF $99/YEAR ENDED. THEREFORE ALL PREFIXES BEFORE @MAC.COM BECAME @ME.COM AND THEN @ICLOUD.COM.

What you can do is to set up a Rule on the iCloud website to move all messages sent to these addresses to the Trash, from where it will be automatically deleted after a week. To set up a Rule go to the Mail page at http://www.icloud.com and click the cogwheel icon at bottom left: choose 'Rules'. REPLY: I DID THE CHANGE FROM 'MAIL PREFERENCE' FROM MY LAPTOP, THINKING I WAS INSTRUCTING THE CLOUD ACCOUNT. BUT YOU ARE SAYING THAT I NEED TO GO TO THE 'CLOUD' WEBSITE. OKAY. I WILL TRY AGAIN.

THANK YOU FOR NOT IGNORING ME.

Hi, I found one of the reasons why it was "receiving" at my main account (diff address but same @icloud.com). I had a "forward mail" instruction

to do so because at one time, I did not want to "log in to different email addresses within the iCloud while traveling." Plus I did not want to remember so many different passwords either. I "undid" the forwarding instructions (left blank) and added a "rule" per your suggestion. So technically, I should only see the TRASH folder for this account build up but nothing in the "in" folder. Right?
