I want to change my icloud mail from example1@icloud.com to -> example2@icloud.com. So i want to have a different mail address without having to create a new one because I have important files (I also haver icloud+ service) so, I want to know if there is a possibility to change it...

Hi there ejramirezdev,
If you would like to change your Apple ID, follow the steps in the 'How to change your Apple ID to a different email address' section here: Change your Apple ID
Please note this information from that article as well:
If you can't change your Apple ID
If you try to change your Apple ID to an @icloud.com email address that was created within the last 30 days, you will be asked to try again later.
If you see a message that the email address you want to use isn't available or is already in use, check that you or a family member aren't already using that email address with a different Apple ID. If a family member is using that email address, remove it from their account then try to use it.
In some countries or regions, you can use your phone number as your Apple ID. But if your Apple ID is an email address, you can't change it to a phone number.
If something else is happening, please provide more details so we can help as best we can.
Cheers!
ejramirezdev,
Thanks for the clarification. You can't go in and 'correct' that email address. But you can go in and create an email alias in your iCloud Mail. See this article for how to do that:
Add and manage email aliases for iCloud Mail on iCloud.com - Apple Support
Of course the email that you want to use cannot be already in use by someone else.
Once you have created the new email address, you can follow the instructions we provided earlier to change your Apple ID if you want.
Best regards.
Thanks for including the screenshot for us, ejramirezdev,
If you're unable to create an iCloud email alias, we would suggest that you contact Apple directly due to the secure nature of your Apple ID. You can find their contact details here: Apple Support
You can also learn more about adding, deleting or changing email addresses for your Apple ID here: About your Apple ID email addresses - Apple Support
Apple ID email address
When you create an Apple ID, you enter an email address. This email address is your Apple ID and the username that you use to sign in to Apple services like Apple Music and iCloud. It's also the contact email address for your account. Be sure to check your inbox regularly. We'll send you email notifications to help you manage your account.

Thank you for answering! But what I mean is, what If I’ve created an @icloud account, for example, ***@icloud.com and just missed the “e” for “ramirez”? which is the actual iCloud mail I want “***@icloud.com”, is there a way to fix it? btw, what I want is to change the entire mail, and not just a character.

Is this “alias” going to be my “new mail address”?
Im trying and I get an error: “Cannot save alias. This alias cannot be saved at this time. Try again later.
I've tried many combinations…
