How to add icloud email alias

I try to follow http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a
but I get stuck at the very first step. There is no cog icon in the sidebar when I access Mail from icloud.com.

Go to http://icloud.com . Click the Mail icon. Then click the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Preferences'. In the pane which opens click 'Accounts' in the top bar.
Click the '+' sign below the accounts list (which presumably shows only the one address) and you can create a new @icloud,com address - of course this isn't a new account, just an additional address which delivers into the same inbox as the main address.

How to add iCloud email address

Can't find any info on how to add another icloud email address.
Any help out there?

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 or move it to another account.

How to add iCloud email and calendar to Outlook 2010

Is there a way to connect my iCloud email and calendar to a pst file that is not my default Outlook pst file? I don't use the default pst file because I was having some problems with it and have set up a new pst file.
I use Outlook 2010 (on a PC) and haven't been able to sync with iPhone5 and iPad.

Howdy Ron,
Take a look at the article linked below, it will walk you through downloading iCloud for Windows and syncing iCloud information like contacts and calendars to Outlook on your PC.
Set up and use iCloud for Windows
Take care,

How to change icloud email? It wasn't me who made it. So every time I used my Apple ID is linked to that email?

Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change that 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 or move it to another account.

How to change icloud email?

I have loaded the operating system on my Iphone 4s and all works except my Icloud email address is wrong and it wants a password I do not have. How do I change the icloud email or find the password?

You can't change an iCloud email address without creating a new account. You can, however, create an @icloud email alias address that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox. This article explains how: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622. If you create an alias address, it can't later be used to create a new iCloud account, nor can it be moved to another account or reactivated should you ever delete it.

Unable to delete iCloud email alias

I am unable to delete my iCloud email Alias sucessfully.
I have 3 alias at the moment. Two of it is correct and I am going to use it. The third was created wrongly(named spelt wrongly) and I tried to delete it. The moment i click the delete button and re-confirmed at the prompt, nothing happen. If you close the Settings menu and go back to the main interface, the alias itself is not found when u compose an email.
BUT when you sign out of iCloud, the alias you have deleted will return. If you go back to the menu right after deleting the alias earlier on, there will be an error which always appears when i repeat it(report sent to apple everytime) stating internal inconsistency error or something like that.
Now if you untick the box for "send and receieve.." for that particular alias, yes the alias itself will disppear from the list of aliases when i compose a new mail.
BUT NOW there's another bug which comes with this - when i navigate to my iPhone's mail and compose a new mail(through iCloud, i had it enabled on my phone), the alias which i have deactivated just now still REMAINS and in fact i can even send email from it! So much for deactivation.
I find it ridiculous to pay for support through Express Lane Support for this which does not belong to me(not like its a phone, duh), so i hope apple is actually looking at this and find a fix for it.
And yes, i want my deleted alias to finally be deleted.
PS: Im using Windows 7. Issue occur on both Firefox and IE

I filed a bug report weeks ago with Apple about this issue with the iCloud Mail app crashing when one tries to delete an email alias. Apple has yesterday closed the ticket, telling me that the issue is not a bug but rather a "support" issue.
In the interest of moving toward a solution for all those affected by the issue, I hope that someone who has access to free Express Lane support will take the time to see what support will do about the problem. Free Express Lane support is available to anyone who has purchased Apple hardware in the last 90 days or who has current AppleCare coverage. If someone does contact Apple support regarding the issue, please report back here so that the rest of us can know whether support reps are able to fix an affected account.
Thanks.

How to add iCloud app to my iPhone 5s

how to add iCloud app to my iPhone 5s

There isn't an iCloud app. You'll find iCloud in Settings>iCloud, where you can sign in with your Apple ID to create your iCloud account (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html). There is only a Find My iPhone app (available through the App store), which you can use to track your other devices from your phone.

You can't delete either the account or the email address. If you are getting messages to it you don't want to see, go to http://icloud.com and to the Mail page: click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Rules'. Then set up a Rule to move all messages to your address to the Trash.

ICloud email alias' not receiving email

i have two email alias' brought over from mobileme.com into icloud
they are imported and showing in my icloud email alias' list. however, when i email to those addresses (@me.com) the emails end up in the mailer-daemon world.
any thoughts?

OK I think I have this figured out here. Looks like a case of operator error on this end in the beginning. Sorry for all the detail below, but if it helps anyone I hope it is worth it.
1. Per suggestion of Carolyn Samit elsewhere, I went into Apple>System Preferences>Internet and Wireless>iCloud and deselected Mail and Notes. I then repeated the above, but toggled the Mail and Notes back on.
2. I sent another test message to my iCloud alias address, per the routine set out in the first post above, with a BCC back to me, which immediately appeared in the MacBook Pro Mail Inbox.
3. I left the Sent message in the Sent folder, and the BCC in the Inbox.
4. I then signed into iCloud and opened Mail.
5. Lo and Behold, my test message was in both the Sent folder and the Inbox in iCloud Mail.
Lesson to be learned from the different process I had used earlier -- iCloud mimics exactly what I had previously done on my MacBook Pro (which was not detailed above because it did not seem important at the time). Previously, after sending a test email, I immediately moved the Sent message into a special folder on the MacBook Pro, and also immediately moved the BCC copy in the Inbox into the same special folder in Mac Mail.
iCloud mimic'd these moves, so when I went there in the early stages of this process (after having already moved two emails into special folders on the laptop), there were no emails to be seen at iCloud.
This last time just now, I left the emails in my Inbox and Sent folders at the laptop, and they WERE in the corresponding folders at iCloud.
Now, to toggle off Mail and Notes in Apple System Preferences and see what happens?
Good night . .

HT4597 How much will iCloud email cost?

How much will iCloud email cost if all I use in my .mac email account and nothing else? My equipment doesn't support iCloud, and therefore email is all I'll be using.

iCloud is free and comes with up to 5 GB of storage in the free package, you can purchase more storage space if you want, however for Mail only I very much doubt you will need more than 5 GB.

How to convert a new Apple ID into a iCloud email alias?

Howdy,
Just a few weeks ago, I created a second MobleMe accout for my daugher via my MobleMe family plan. The reason was that her orignal MobleMe email ([email protected]) address seemed a bit childish to her and she wanted a new "more professional" sounding address. At first I tried to create an email alias, but discovered that new alias creation had been stopped due to the looming iCloud launch, so I used one of my unused family plan accounts to create "[email protected]." Took some fooling around to get mail on her macbook to send & receive from both... but it worked and I was once again, the family IT hero!
Okay, now that iCloud has launched, and we are converting over to iCloud I wondered what to do about my daughters two email addresses. I looked around for information about just converting both xxxx & yyyy to iCloud, so my daughter could receive both emails from the same iMac mail account... but I can find nothing about that option on the inter tubes so I figured that option was unsupported.
Next I wondered if email aliases had come back, and they have! Cool, just convert [email protected] to an alias of [email protected]... but alias, you can't delete an Apple ID and I assume that I won't be able to create [email protected] as an alias as it is it's one Apple ID (otherwise, there would be a really big security hole in iCloud email ;).
What to do? Well, I can think of the following options, in order of what would be most user friendly to my daughter:
1. Convert [email protected] to an alias of [email protected]. This would be nice because I could simplify my daughters email set up (just one account, not two). Trouble is, I don't know how to do this and/or it just can't be done.
2. Create a new alias for [email protected]; [email protected]. Kind of junky as "yyyy" is pretty obvious (if you knew what it was), and [email protected] is already "out there."
3. Create two accounts on my daughters macbook; one for [email protected] and the other for [email protected]. This ***** because she'd have to logout/login to check mail on both accounts.
So... their must be a simpler way, right Apple? If so, please advise!

How to change the name or have no name for an iCloud email alias

I had MobileMe on the iPhone with alias email addresses and I liked how it didn’t attach any “name” to an alias. For example, I had MainUserName, then for aliases I would have [email protected], [email protected], etc. When I sent an email from my iPhone using one of the aliases as the "from" no name would be associated with the alias email address. If it was the MainUserName then it would associate it, e.g. Main User <[email protected]> will show up on the "From" field when I sent an email. But with iCloud on the iPhone (and iPad), it’s Main User <[email protected]>, Main User <[email protected], etc., which I don’t want. If anything it should be Alias 1 <[email protected]> or Alias 2 <[email protected]>. Anyway, I don't want any name associated with the aliases, so when I send an email it will simply say [email protected] or just [email protected] with no name association.
It works differently if I access iCloud through a web browser. If I send an email via iCloud on the web, I can customize and have a different name with each alias, e.g., Tom <[email protected]> or Harry <[email protected]> And the customization carries over to the Mail app on my Mac. That would be ideal if the customization carried over to the iPhone and iPad, but I'd be happy if there was no name association with alias email addresses. Hopefully, there's a solution to the iPhone/iPad situation with iCloud as I don't want the name linked with the main iCloud email address linked with all the different email aliases I have.
