Hi alinasersnova,

Welcome to the Apple Community, where some of us do our best to help each other :)


Wondering if it is your e-mail address. that you want to change.

The e-mail you use for Apple ID log-in, is the same e-mail address used for log-in to iCloud.


If you have changed your e-mail address at Apple ID recently,

and need to change you iCloud e-mail address to match,

this article (below) from Apple support can help (scroll down to "iCloud".:


What to do after you change your Apple ID or password:

Or if that is not what you want to do:

You can create an e-mail address to use just with iCloud Mail:


Create an email address for iCloud Mail

https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/icloud/mmdd8d1c5c/1.0/icloud/1.0

Or

If you already have a primary ....@iCloud e-mail address, you might want to:

Use email aliases on iCloud.com

https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/icloud/mm6b1a490a/icloud


An e-mail alias can be created, turned off, or turned on.

Hope this helps you :)

You're welcome, alinasersnova,


That's correct.

Seems the primary @iCloud e-mail address can not be deleted to change it.

(You can use it to sign in to iCloud.com and your devices in addition to your Apple ID.)


You can create an alias, and make that the default e-mail address instead, for sending and receiving e-mails.

Cheers :)
