Create new e-mail address and apple ID

How do I create a new e-mail address? (presumably @me.com)


I'm trying to set up a new Apple ID for iCloud but can't do it without an e-mail address.


I've posted this in the iCloud forum but no response - any help much appreciated.


Thank you

Hi


i have just had the same isse, i wished to change my complicated email address to a new apple one


but still keeping the original


after talking with apple support its quite simple


do the follwing

log in as usual

click on mail tab

then click on settings at bottom left, the cog looking icon

then preferences

then accounts tab

then add alias


then you can go to

composing tab and change the default address to the new one

so when you send an email it goes from the new one
