    If the email address in question is an @icloud.com, @mac.com or @me.com address then you cannot change it. However you can create an 'email alias' which is an additional address, not account, which delivers into the inbox alongside the main address.

     

    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
