In order to create a new account you would have to create a new Apple ID at https://appleid.apple.com using an email address which has not been associated with an Apple ID, then use that to create an iCloud account - you would have to sign out of your current iCloud account, sign into Settings>iCloud with the new ID to create a new iCloud account and create an email address, then sign out4 of that and back in with the old ID (assuming you wish to keep that account); then sign in in Settings: Mail, Contacts, Calendars with tne new ID and enable Email there.


However, you can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.)


You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
