Can I link my icloud mail address to another Apple ID?

I have an Apple ID with a related email address. I would like to delete the Apple ID but not lose the mail address, could anyone tell me How to keep the email address (an Icloud.com address) but link it to another Apple ID? Thanks.

It will delete the email account.  If you want to keep the iCloud email account, you can go to Settings>iCloud and turn off everything but Mail.  If you are changing iCloud accounts, you can add it back the existing email account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, signing in with the current account ID and turning Mail on.  (Mail in a secondary account like this will be fetch rather than push email.)

    how can i change my icloud mail address.
    thanks

    You can't change the name of your @me.com or @icloud.com address, but you can set up an alias with a different name that will still deliver email to your iCloud inbox.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can log into Apple's services (such as iCloud et al) with your iCloud email address if that's what you mean.

  • HT204053 Can I use my icloud email address as an apple id?

    Can I use my icloud email address as an apple id?

    Are you sure?
    Copying from https://discussions.apple.com///thread/4434456?start=0&tstart=0
    "I noticed the following :
    If you attempt to create an Apple ID which is the same as your @icloud email address from the online facility, it does not allow you (can't use an Apple associated email address as your Apple ID). However - if you start a fresh device - such as a new iPhone, iPad(must be mobile it seems), and then create an iCloud account and Apple ID from the prompts when setting up the mobile device, it IS possible to have your Apple ID and @iCloud email address as the same. I know because I just did it!
    Unfortunately for me, the result I got above is not for one of my own ID's but a friends, and I would VERY much like to do the same - my current Apple ID is a completely different email address from my iCloud account. Trying to get them the same in my situation is a major bother - I think that if I wipe a device (such as an iPhone5 that is mine) and try to setup as I did my friend's device, then I will get a conflict because theiCloud email I have ALREADY exists. This is my worry and I will not attempt this until I get the new iPad 4 soon to test this.
    There is an inconsistency here between the two methods of creating Apple ID's andiCloud accounts.
    Overall in my opinion, the Apple ID system as currently available from Apple is not designed very well, and should be addressed."

    Yes. An Apple ID can be any legitimate email address.

  • Can I use my icloud email address as my Apple ID?

    Hi,
    I have tried searching for an answer to this but couldn't find one.  To me, it would seem like the logical thing to do.  The reason I ask, however, is that when you go to create an Apple ID it states the two criteria are (1) it has to be a verified/established email address, and (2) it cannot be an Apple domain.  I'm assuming 'iCloud.com' is considered a domain? 
    Can anyone advise on this, please?

    You can't use a @me.com, @mac.com or @icloud.com address as an Apple ID because they are registered to an Apple ID. However, you can set them as the main Apple ID email account, but not as the Apple ID

  • Can I change my .me alias to my main iCloud mail address?

    I don't like my .me address which I've set up a year ago (with mobileme) and always use my .me alias.
    I would like to alter my .me alias mail address to my main iCloud mail address and/or Apple ID.
    When I try to change it in the Apple ID settings it doesn't work.
    I was trying to set up a completely new iCloud account but because I already moved from mobileme, the function to set up a new account (therefore to get a new mail address) doesn't even appear.
    What can I do? It's very tedious to manually switch the mail account, I am sending emails from, on my iOS devices manually all the time.

    You change the name of your ID at https://appleid.apple.com.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40.

  • HT201342 I would like to transfer an icloud email address from one apple id to a different apple id.  Is this possible?

    How can I transfer an icloud email address from one apple id to another apple id?

    It isn't possible.  If you need to use a different iCloud account with a different ID as your primary iCloud account, you can still set up your other iCloud address as a secondary account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, signing in with your ID and turning Mail to on.  It will be fetch rather than push email, however, as push is only supported in the primary account.

  • How can i get my e-mail address linked to my skype...

    How can i get my e-mail address linked to my skype user name.
    Regards Gerald

    You can use a different email account, but it will not appear on icloud.com as iCoud only hosts iCloud email.  Just add your account to the email client on your PC as you would any other email account.  To add the account on your iOS devices (iPhone), go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account, choose your provider and provide your account details.
    You can't redownload purchased ringtones from iCloud for free but you can sync them to your 5c using iTunes.  To do so, connect your iPhone 4 to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Then go to the Tones folder of your iTunes library and confirm that the ringtones appear there.  (If you don't see the Tones folder, go to Edit>Preferences>General and make sure Tones is checked in the Show options.)
    Then connect your 5c to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Tones folder of your iTunes sync settings, then check Sync Tones and click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.

  • HT201342 How can I add an e-mail address to my existing icloud addresses?  I currently only use one and I would like to ad two more?

    How can I add an e-mail address to my existing icloud account?  I curently only use one of the three.

    Each iCloud account only has a single iCloud account.  If you want, you can add up to 3 alias addresses that will receive email in the same iCloud inbox, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I have asked for your email address to be edited out. Posting your address in an open thread is a sure way to be bombarded by unwanted email, remember it will be here long after you have resolved your problem, for automated detection software to find.
    If you want people to contact you, enable others to see your email address in your profile.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • Can you change the icloud email address linked to you icloud account?

    Some how the my husbands iCloud email address got linked to my iCloud account is there a way to change the iCloud email address to another?

    Not without creating a new iCloud account.  If you want to do this, create a new ID with the email address you want to use, then go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your device.  (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.)  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your new ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.
    This will not move your photo stream, however.  If you have photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll and that you haven't backed up anywhere else you will need to save these before deleting the account.  To do this, open your photo stream album on your device in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  You can then delete the iCloud account and your photos will stay in your camera roll.

  • I have changed my e-mail address on the apple ID website and have been able to change it for ICloud.  My e-mail address (ID) has not changed for I-tunes and therefore, I can't install updates. ??

    I have changed my e-mail address on the apple ID website and have been able to change it for ICloud.  My e-mail address (ID) has not changed for I-tunes and therefore, I can't install updates. ??

    If this is on your computer's iTunes then log out via the Store > Sign Out menu option and then log back in with the updated version of your account. If on an iOS device then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log out and then log back in.

  • I can't delete an iCloud Mail-Alias.

    I've created an Mail-Alias on icloud.com and can't delete this Alias on icloud.com although there is a button which should delete it. There is always a failure message which tells me that the Alias can't be deleted because there is a "Server Problem". After this message Mail crashes and I need to reload it.

    All,
    I have just spoken to Apple Support using my Apple Care Express Lane service...
    I too had the crashing issue when trying to delete a "capitalized" alias.
    The lovely gentleman on the phone simply reset my iCloud Web Mail preferences from his side. This changed all my aliases to lower case, allowing me to delete them as I saw fit.
    It seems to be a discrepancy with the iCloud Web Mail preferences pane and the back-end preferences file... The file stores ALL iCloud mail addresses in lower case, meaning when the Web Mail app sends a delete request for a capitalized alias, it fails - it must be case sensitive.
    So, if you can get a request in to Apple Support (maybe via the Genius Desk) ask them to reset your iCloud Web Mail preferences.
    I hope this helps.
    And hopefully the Apple Techs will fix the preferences link!
