Do have to create an icloud email address?

Do you have to create an Apple iCloud email address?  I have enough email addresses already. 

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 however be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.

    If you want to keep her email separate from yours she will need to create a new Apple ID, and use it to create a new iCloud account either on a separate computer or on a separate User Account on your Mac.

  • How to create multiple iCloud email addresses?

    How do I create multiple icloud email addresses with out creating multiple Apple IDs?

    If you want multiple aliases, just login to iCloud.com and you can create them there in your mail account settings.

  • Early iMac (not Lion eligible), does my mobile me email address cease to work after June, 2012?  Can one create an iCloud email address?

    Cannot update to Lion on this early intel iMac.  Now I find out I cannot move mail, contacts to iCloud.  My question is, will my mobile me email address continue to work after June, 2012?  Can one create an iCloud email address to use with iPhone and iPad?

    If you own a iOS5 idevice like a ipod touch you are eligible to use icloud. This will preserve your current Email and Adress Book data after MobileMe dies next year.
    Else you would need to purchase a Lion capable Mac or set up a Vista/Win7 PC with office2007/10  to use icloud.

  • HT5538 How do I check to see if I created an icloud email address?

    How do I check to see if I created an icloud email address?

    Are you logged into your iCloud with the AppleID you used to create the iCloud address?
    If so, check the Mail checkbox in iCloud System Preferences and then go to Mail and look at Accounts Preferences. Does the email account show up in the iCloud account?

  • HT4899 I have NEVER used my icloud email address and am now getting spam mail to services I have NEVER signed up to.  Should I conclude from this that Apple have sold my details on?

    I have NEVER used my icloud email address and am now getting spam mail to services I have NEVER signed up to.  Should I conclude from this that Apple have sold my details on?
    To tell me to mark it as spam is just not good enough.  I do not want this rubbish cluttering my inbox.

    Nobody want to receive spam, but it's a fact of life. Apple is certainly not selling your address on to spammers, and it's possible that the spammer has been guessing at possible addresses and has hit on yours.
    A good third-party program for dealing with spam is SpamSieve - after a training period it's very good at identifying spam and shunting it to a Spam folder where you can check it and delete at your leisure. It works with iCloud.

  • HT4436 I have a primary email address that I use now that is not an icloud account.  If I create an icloud email address, will I be able to send/receive  emails on both accounts simultaneously?

    I have a current primary email address that is not an icloud account.  If I create an icloud email account, will I be able to send and receive emails from both accounts simultaneously, or will the icloud account become my primary account and will I then have to inform everyone that I have a new email address?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can use either account and set one as default if you wish.

    What version of iPhoto do you have installed?  Is if one of the versions shown as not compatible in this screenshot?
    If it is then go to the App Store and download iPhoto 9.5.  It will be free if you have an iPhoto 9 or later verson currently.

  • Can I have more than one iCloud email address and if so how do I create it

    I have multiple businesses and would like to create a second iCloud email.  Is that possible and if so will it sync to my previous one or can I sync it on the Iphone?  Thank you

    You can add up to three 'email aliases' to your present account - 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.)

    Alternatively you can create a new Apple ID and use it to open a new iCloud account which you can sign into in System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail, Contacts and Calendars. This secondary account can sync data between its own online account and your Mac, though it cannot use PhotoStream. Data entered in one account won't appear in the other online, though both appear in alongside each other on your Macs or devices.
