How do I delete my icloud email address and create a new one?

You can't, except by creating a new iCloud account.  But you can create an @icloud.com email alias address to use that will receive email in your current inbox (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622).  (Note: alias addresses cannot later be used to create a new iCloud account, nor can they be moved to another account or be reactivated should you ever delete them.)

  • How do you deactivate or turn off an @me email address and create a new one

    My @me email address is slammed with spam.  I get so much everyday it crowds out important emails. How do you shut off an icloud email address and create a new one? Do I need to create a new apple ID?

    You can create a new @icloud.com email address to use that will deliver email to your current inbox, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a.  Then you can set up an email rule at icloud.com to send email sent to your @me address to the trash, where it will be deleted after 30 days, or to your spam folder, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a3f8a.

  • I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

    I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • HT201342 I'd like to change my iCloud email address or create a new one, how do I do this?

    I'd like to change my iCloud email address or create a new one, how do I do this? I'm starting a new business and I've not really used my iCloud email address, I'd like to change the name to the business name. Can I do this? If so, how?

    You can't change an iCloud email address.  You can create an alias address to use that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox, but it will still be an @icloud.com address.  If you want to do this, this article explains how to create an alias: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.  Note: once you create an alias address, you can't use it to create a new iCloud account, move it to another account, of reactivate it should you ever delete it.
    You should also be aware that iCloud is designed for personal rather than business use, and as such, there are limits place on iCloud email accounts as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4863.

  • How do i delete my primary email address and use one of my alternate email adresses as my primary email address

    how do i delete my primary email address and use one of my alternate email adresses as my primary email address

    Hey freightguy,
    It sounds like you want to change your Apple ID. Follow the steps in this link to do so:
    Before you change your Apple ID:
    Sign out of all Apple features and services that you use with your current Apple ID.
    Make sure that the email address you want to use for your Apple ID meets these conditions:
    The email address is one that you use regularly, because it will be the primary email address for your Apple ID.
    The email address is not associated with any other Apple ID.
    The email address is not an iCloud email address, which is already an Apple ID. iCloud email addresses end with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com.
    To change your Apple ID, follow these steps:
    Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click "Manage your Apple ID", and sign in.
    If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID. If you are unable to receive messages at your trusted device, follow the guidelines for what to do if you can't sign in with two-step verification.
    In the "Apple ID and Primary Email Address section," click Edit.
    Enter the email address you want to use, then click Save Changes. Apple will send a verification email to that address.
    Open the email from Apple, then click Verify Now in the email.
    When the My Apple ID page opens, sign in with your renamed Apple ID.
    If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID.
    After you see a message indicating that verification is complete, remember to update all of the stores and services that you use with your Apple ID.

  • How do I delete an iCloud email address that was created under my Apple ID?

    I have an Apple ID that is used mostly for iTunes.  My son has an iPod Touch and wanted to create an iCloud email address to use on his iPod.  We created an iCloud email address through my Apple ID, not realizing that now, every time he sends an email, it arrives "from" my name, not his, as the address is attached to my Apple ID and therefore through my account information.  We would like to delete his iCloud email address completely so he can open his own personal Apple ID and recreate his iCloud email address through his own new Apple account.  We deleted the account from his iPod and also deleted it as a second email address on my AppleID account information.  Yet, despite all this, the email address seems to remain attached to my account.  Apple Support website and iCloud support did not give us any ideas.  Help!

    PS:  
    since I posted this question (above), I have read many other questions posted and it seems I am not alone.  Seems Apple will not allow people to delete an iCloud email address completely from existence!  You can delete it from devices but not from the Apple ID account.  What a disappointment, really.  In my opinion, the "user-friendly" Apple is really frustrating people who simply want to be able to manage their email addresses for various, valid reasons.  Email addresses that have been created should be allowed to be deleted by the creator!  Other email services allow this! 
    One idea I have that may help others in my situation:  Rather than delete my son's iCloud email address from my Apple ID account, so that his emails come from HIS name not MINE, I might try to just change the name on my AppleID account from mine to his.  He can create a new password too.  Then, in the future, if I want to recreate my own Apple ID, I will. 

  • HT2623 how can I change my icloud email address?

    I have not been able to change my icloud email address and would like to do so. I know before this was not an option. Has it changed?

    Nothing has changed: 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 or move it to another account.
    More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

    While you can turn off or delete an email alias that your create, you cannot delete an @me.com or @icloud.com address.  You can only choose to stop using it.  If you want to stop using iCloud email completely, go to Settings>iCloud and turn Mail to Off.

    You can't delete it, but you can create an email alias address to use that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a.  Just be aware that an alias address cannot later be used to create a new iCloud account or be moved to a different account.
