using icloud email after deleting apple id

is it possible for me to still be able to use my icloud email after i delete my apple id? because i have an apple id that i don’t use anymore but i have some important emails that i receive there, so im not sure if i should delete my apple id or not. im afraid that if i do delete it, i wont be able to access my email anymore or use it. may be a dumb question but i can’t seem to find answers.

iPhone 14, iOS 17

Read this article about what happens. Basically if you delete the ID then you won't be able to get access to anything you did with that account.


For information about how to delete an Apple ID account, read this support article —> How to delete your Apple ID account - Apple Support

Carefully and thoroughly read that article for information about what happens when you delete your Apple ID account. For example:

"Make sure that you sign out of all your devices to avoid issues with apps that use your Apple ID account or iCloud. After your account is deleted, you can't sign out of iCloud or turn off Find My iPhone Activation Lock on your devices. If you forget to sign out, you might not be able to use your device when your account is deleted."
