delete iCloud email address WITHOUT deleting the whole Apple ID

Hi. I have an iCloud email address attached to my Apple ID. I do not wish to have it anymore. Is there a way to get rid of it without deleting the whole Apple Id?

You can't change/remove @iCloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com addresses unless it is an alias you created after the Apple ID was set up.


iCloud: About your @icloud.com, @me.com, and @mac.com email addresses.   *


iCloud - Create or change email aliases.   -


Apple ID email addresses.   *

Because that is the way Apple set it up.


Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.


If you want to, you can send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem or a suggestion for change. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem/suggested change solved sooner. Pick the closest topic you can find.
