Dear All,

Is it possible for me to change my old Apple ID email address with the new one from iCloud?

I used Yahoo Mail for my old Apple ID and I really want to change the yahoo email address to iCloud.

No.

The iCloud email is already in and of itself an Apple ID. And cannot be used as the primary e-mail address of another Apple ID.

If you need to update your old Apple ID, you will need a non Apple based email address to do so.
