How do I close my iCloud email account?

I apologize in advance for what is probably a dumb question, but I have a @me.com email address I want to stop. How do I do this? I have literally thousands of emails coming to that address. I've had it for years and used it for a previous business.

Hello zna2212,


If this is your iCloud alias, then this account is unable to be disabled and have the mail turned off. If you would like to delete the associated Apple ID, you can do so via the Apple ID privacy website. Check out those steps in the following article:  How to delete your Apple ID account - Apple Support


How to permanently delete your Apple ID
Sign in with your Apple ID at privacy.apple.com on a Mac, PC, iPhone, or iPad, and select “Request to delete your account”.

When you request account deletion, you'll receive a unique alphanumeric access code. Make sure that you keep this access code in a safe place. For a short period of time while your request is being processed, you can contact Apple Support, provide your access code, and we’ll help you cancel your request so you can resume using your Apple ID. 


Kind regards.
