Installed El Cap this morning. All went well with the exception of now having two iCloud accounts listed in my email. Is anyone else having this? Can it be explained?

Does the second account appear in system preferences/internet accounts? If so, do you have an old @me.com AND @icloud.com adress?
I had the problem that i logged into iCloud with the @icloud.com adress but my "official" Apple ID ends with @me.com.
If this is the case maybe i can help you

When I created my original iCloud account, I got both an @me and @icloud account (like everyone else). It is showing in system preferences/internet accounts but doesn't show an email address. I don't use the Apple account as my Apple ID (since I didn't get one until after signing up).
