How do i change an existing icloud email address?

How do you change your icloud email account?

You can't. I don't know of any email provider that lets you change your email address without actually setting up a new one.
You can setup an 'alias' which is another address that points to your original one and all email comes in and out of the same mailbox. You can then use the new alias address as your email address.

How do I change just my iCloud email address not my apple ID?

How do I change just my iCloud email address not my apple ID?

You CANNOT change your iCloud email address once it is created and associated to you Apple Id (usually it is another email address). First time you activate iCloud on your device and turn on email setting, you are prompted to create an iCloud email account and after choosing one that is available you are CLEARLY warned that ONCE CREATED YOU iCLOUD EMAIL IT CANNOT BE CHANGED!!!
Fig.1 Warning if desired iCloud email Fig. 2. Warning about creating new iCloud
address is not available email which will be associated to you Apple Id
You have two choices: a) create an alias for that account after you sign in icloud.com using either your apple id or your new created icloud email account (that's what I did) or b) create a new Apple Id (with all the pain it involves)
I typed an incorrect iCloud email address and was linked to my Apple Id and now I have to live with this forever!?
The workaround was to create an alias, but I have the feeling that something is wrong with my Apple Id
All of us might make a petition to apple to allow us to change the 'main' icloud email address. What if I misspelled it!? How difficult can it be?
I hope this be helpful and answer your question.
P.S. In the same way... once you create your Apple Support Communities USERNAME it cannot be changed too!

I can change the password but the email address is grayed out so I can't change it. I have tried signing out via the store on my phone & back in but it made no difference. Help!! I keep getting error messages about the photo stream ..but I don't know what I can do to correct it. HELP!!!

How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id?

Hi there
How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id? My original email address is associated with my previous employers.
When I send email from my Macbook, it seems as if I still work there, which is a problem.
I would like to use the email address that I created for my iPad.
When I login with my appleid (for my macbook) I keep getting the old company one, not the new one.
Is there any way of resolving this? I
Thanks
Kelvin

How can I change my apple ID email address?

How can I change my apple ID email address?

I just did follow Varjak's instruction, but it refused. I was asked to enter my Apple ID's email address which unfortunately is the same as my Apple ID. I created two different passwords for each Apple ID n primary email address when I set up my I tune account in the first place, however.
I do remember my Apple ID password because I have used it every time I installed new apps, but I completely forgot my password for the primary email address because I've never used it at all! I have another email address which I actively use it for all my email. I want to change my primary email address which happened to be my Apple ID as well to the one I actively use.
Because of the explained problem, I can't log in to Icloud as I have been asked to verify by following the instruction sent to my primary email address.
I would really appreciate it if any one can help me solve this problem.
Thank you all.

HT4897 how can I check availability of icloud email address

How can I check availability of icloud email address?

Try to create one. If it's taken you will get a message saying so. Of course only try this with an address you really want since if you can create it you won't be able to delete it if it's the main account address.
In theory you can check email addresses by using 'Finger' but it's not in the least reliable and doesn't seem to work with iCloud at all (and many ISPs simply refuse it). 'Ping' will return a positive whether the address exists or not (it checks the domain only).

How can I change my apple ID email address when I can't access old email (It's an old work address I can't access anymore)

Thanks Lawrence. I've spent over 3 hours on the phone/chatting to online support and none of it seemed to help as it all revolved around resetting emails etc but can't do any of it without my access to my old email. Now my phone won't take cloud because they advised to set up new apple ID and use that, but can't sign out of old one completely. Also doesn't help because my phone and laptop are set up on the old one. Thanks for the help.

Define "back up email." Do you mean rescue email address?

HT4623 Hi! How do I change iphone 4 id (email address) on the phone?

Hi! How do I change iphone 4 id (email address ) on the phone?

You can change your e-mail address associated with your Apple ID, what you did is change the Apple ID instead.
All content bought with an Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
Check your Apple ID here: Note: do not create a new Apple ID see above.

Hi CMOREL,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you'd like to use a different iCloud email address, you can create an alias at iCloud.com. See this article for the steps to create an alias:

HT4436 How do I get a new iCloud email address ?

How can I change my iCloud email address to a new one?

Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
However, all is not lost. 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.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should 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.
More information on aliases here:

How do I change the submit to email address?

I have made a form in Adobe Acrobat X Pro, and initially I wanted the form to be sent to one email and I entered it in, but now that person is no longer accepting the forms and it needs to be routed back to me. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to figure out how to change the submit to email address. Even when I try and make a new form, the other email autofills itself. Any help would be great. Thank you.

Thank you.

You can't. iCloud uses its own email accounts @icloud.com

Is it possible to delete/re-create or edit/modify an existing iCloud email address?

When I created my iCloud email address I was on my iPhone. My eyesight not being what it once was coupled with small font size, I inadvertently left out one letter. Now, I don't see any solution for editing/modifying that email address. I don't want to create an alias email address - just simply delete and re-create the existing @me address I established. Is this possible to accomplish?

Only by abandoning the account (you can't actually delete it, so it will still exist) and opening another one: to do that you will need to use a different email address as the ID, and then you can set up the @me.com address you want.
