icloud.com address neame change request

I want to change my 'name'@icloud.com to a 'newname'@icloud.com but the options suggested to do so, do not appear available when I go the the following route:

icloud.com>mail>settings>preferences>accounts

Only the alias addresses I created give me the options to delete or disable an address.

I can't even select the address I want to change - it appears as an icloud IMAP address.

How do I do this please?

See the instructions below for changing an Apple ID.

 

Change your Apple ID  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202667 Read these two sections very carefully to see what is allowed: If your Apple ID is a third-party email address and How to change your Apple ID if it ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com.

 

Before changing your Apple ID using a computer, sign out of all Apple services that use your Apple ID. If you are going to use an iPhone, iPad, or iPod, then stay signed in with your Apple ID on only that device. This instruction is taken from the above document under the heading Before you change your Apple ID.

 

For sign out purposes, see Where can I use my Apple ID? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202659 “This list is provided for informational purposes only and is subject to change without notice. It's not intended to include every feature or service that uses Apple ID. Visit the Apple ID support page for more information.”
