Creating a secondary email account under icloud

How can I create a second email address under my icloud account? The original one I created years ago is my main apple ID but I would like to create a new one that I can use instead. How to I create a new one and will everything be accessible under the one account even though there are 2 email addresses?

Follow the instructions in Add and manage email aliases for iCloud Mail on iCloud.com to create up to three alias addresses. These are all part of your iCloud account.


From: Create an email alias:

  1. In Mail on iCloud.com, click  at the top of the Mailboxes list, then choose Preferences.
  2. Click Accounts, then click “Add an alias.”
  3. Provide the requested information:
  • Alias: The text you provide becomes the email address (alias@icloud.com). An alias must contain between 3 and 20 characters.
  • Full Name: The name you provide appears in the From field of the messages you send.
  • Label: Aliases are listed alphabetically by label.

4. Click Add, then click Done.
