How to set up additional iCloud email

How can I set up an additional icloud email address? I already have an icloud account using my domain name and wish to set up an icloud.com address as well.

If you haven't enabled Mail in System Preferences>iCloud then you should do so, and you will be asked to create an @icloud.com address.
If you have already done this and have such an address you can add three more in the form of '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.

    If your computer does not automatically setup up your iCloud email app then you will have to set it up manually using these mail server settings:

    Plug it in, and if desired, set it up in the Displays pane of System Preferences.

  • How to set up additional mac email account?

    If I have a mac email address already established, can I set up more than one on my iMac?  Seems like the answer is yes, but attempts this morning only bollixed my Mac mail account.

    Keep trying that but it crashes. Obviously the 2nd account I tried to set up is creating a disconnect.  Answer my basic question first.  If I already have a mac /icloud email account established long ago, can I add/establish another mac email account, or do you just get one?

    You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours.  If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
    You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for).  You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
    You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.

  • HT204053 how do i reset my additional iCloud email password which i forgot because of all your new pw requirements

    how do i reset my additional iCloud email password which i forgot because of your new PW requirements

    The password for your iCloud email is the same as the password where you sing into System Preferences>iCloud or http://icloud.com - can you sign in in the latter? If so and your email doesn't work you should sign out in System Preferences>iCloud and sign back in again, and check Mail and any other data tyupes you want to sync. You data will disappear from your Mac when you do this but re-appear when you sign back in again.
    If you can't sign in at http://icloud.com you should go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Reset password' - sign in with your iCloud login and follow the instructions.

    How do I setup my iCloud email account to also receive email going to my window pc outlook email account and also my gmail account?

    You can't do that within your iCloud Mail settings, you'd need to forward the mail from the individual 3rd party accounts.

  • How do I change my iCloud email address as I made a spelling mistake when setting it up?

    How do I change my iCloud email address as I made a small spelling mistake when creating my new iCloud email address originally?

    When a user creates an icloud account, they use an Apple ID, like [email protected] to define it.  If this use of an ID is what you mean, then NO you can't change it without creating a new ID and thus new account.
    But if all you want to do is have a different email address associated with the account, then that you can do by defining an alias email address.  Using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Mail page.  In the upper right there's a cog wheel, click that and then choose preferences, then accounts.  In the icloud account, you can add a new alias.  Note that it must be of the format  [email protected]

  • HT204053 how can i move an icloud email address from one ipod to another?

    Hi
    My kids have ipods and wanted icloud activated.  Foolishly I set up an icloud email account but used my son's name on my daughter's ipod.  How can I switch the icloud email account to my son's ipod?
    Thanks,

    I don't really understand iCloud, but I have an Apple ID since both my kids are underage (8 and 11).  They share my Apple ID, but have different Ipods.  Can/Should I have separate iCloud emails for them?  To recap, I have 1 Apple account, but have 2 kids, a boy and a girl.  How do I have separate id's for their individual ipods using icloud when I have one Apple ID?

    hello guys ...i need any help or suggestions, how can i change my icloud email address?? i typed a w rong name by mistake?? can i change it and retype the correct one? thanks ...your suggestio is higly appreciated.

    That's definitely not supposed to happen.  You shouldn't have someone else's iCloud email linked to your ID.
    You'll have to get iCloud support to sort this one out.  The only way to contact them is to start here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/.  You'll have to provide your iPhone serial number.  Unless it's within the 90 day free support window, or you purchased AppleCare, there will be a charge.  I suppose you can plead your case when they answer that you shouldn't be charged as you didn't set up this address and it shouldn't have happened with your ID.

  • How can I remove an icloud email address if i have forgotten the password?

    How can I remove an ICloud email address that's on my IPhone if I have forgotten the password?  I have tried to reset the password through Apple ID but I no longer have access to the email address and its not recognising my birthday

    If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases'  - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
    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.

    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.
