Hi there I have had my iCloud email address stolen by someone in Zimbabwe about 15 years ago - it’s not a huge deal because I use my gmail as my Apple ID. I seem to be unable to change this iCloud email however and I keep getting random bills emailed to it. I don’t want to change my current iCloud gmail addy which is secure but I can’t seem to update or change the iCloud address that I do not use. What do I do? Why is this so frustrating?

"If you are talking about the @icloud.com address created when the account was first opened (the 'primary address', and shown at the top of the list as the 'iCloudIMAP address' in Preferences>Accounts at icloud.com's Mail page) you cannot delete it. You can only delete 'email aliases' - additional addresses added later."
