You can't change your @me.com or @icloud.com email address without creating a new account. You can create an alias address that will receive email in your current iCloud email inbox, but it will be another @icloud.com address. As Ralph Landry1 states, new accounts are assigned an @icloud.com address and may also carryover an existing @mac.com or @me.com address, but cannot be a gmail.com address.


Your iCloud ID is probably the same as your email address. It's whatever is listed in Settings>iCloud next to Account.
