I really need to set up another alias, I have been a long term member of .mac then .me now the cloud so I have a full quota of aliases. I would happily buy one.

I really need to set up another alias, I have been a long term member of .mac then .me now the cloud so I have a full quota of aliases. Mac says I have to deleat 3 of my exsiting ones before I can create a new one. I would happily buy one.

I have even tried setting up an email ac with my telephone servise provider but it cant work with my address book and I need to send to groups blind.

Is there a way I can buy an extra alias?

Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.7.5), External HD Drobo 5s

You can't exceed 3 alias addresses in a single account. You could, however, create a second ("secondary") iCloud account by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and enable mail in the secondary account.

Thanks for the information. Would I need to buy a second account?

No. Each account comes with 5GB of storage free, and can be upgraded to more storage for a charge. Each iOS device and Mac can create a maximum of three iCloud accounts.

Can I get my normal mail at same time as the second account is enabled or do I need to switch back and forth?

Yes. Both accounts will appear in your Mail app mail will be pushed/fetched from each account.
