Can I edit my new email in iCloud to add an alias?

I set up a new email in iCloud , not realising I had to set up aliases. the new address is shown on on iCloud as my main email, although the account is in the original email. I can't edit the new email in iCloud in order to set up an alias

It’s definitely possible to make an alias on iCloud Mail. Apple has this support article that has the instructions: Add and manage email aliases for iCloud Mail on iCloud.com – Apple Support (UK)


They also have another article that confirms you cannot rename your primary alias/iCloud Mail address once created: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/icloud/mmdd8d1c5c/1.0/ic


If you want one of your alias’ to be the default From address, you can specify that on settings for iOS/iPadOS and on iCloud.com settings.
