You can't change the name of your @me.com or @icloud.com address, but you can set up an alias with a different name that will still deliver email to your iCloud inbox. See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

ICloud mail address setup issue

I have a @mac.com Apple ID with @me.com iCloud mail address. When setting up iCloud on my iPhone 4, the email address always defaults to ****@mac.com, when infact I need the email address to be @me.com. The @mac.com address is not actually an email, just the ID. The @me.com address was just setup after the release of iCloud, and is associated with the @mac.com ID. If I go to iCloud.com, I can sign in with either the @mac or the @me.com and both bring me to the same Apple ID @mac.com....man this is long winded..
So, how can I use iCloud with my iPhone if it defaults to a non-existant address and won't let me change it? Anyone else had this issue?

Can I change my .me alias to my main iCloud mail address?

I don't like my .me address which I've set up a year ago (with mobileme) and always use my .me alias.
I would like to alter my .me alias mail address to my main iCloud mail address and/or Apple ID.
When I try to change it in the Apple ID settings it doesn't work.
I was trying to set up a completely new iCloud account but because I already moved from mobileme, the function to set up a new account (therefore to get a new mail address) doesn't even appear.
What can I do? It's very tedious to manually switch the mail account, I am sending emails from, on my iOS devices manually all the time.

You change the name of your ID at https://appleid.apple.com. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40.

ICloud mail address as primary

Hello.
I noticed that new iCloud users could create Apple ID with iCloud mail address as primary. Just when they buy new Mac/iDevice and starting iCloud, they get @icloud.com address and @me.com address and thats it. They could use them as Apple ID login and need nothing else.
I use Apple services for a long time, so my Apple ID was created before iCloud introducing. And I have to use third-party email addres (google, yahoo, etc) as my Apple ID. Even since my iCloud was merged with my Apple ID and I'm able to login both with third-party email and iCloud email - I still have to use third-party email as primary and I cant change it to iCloud mail (system says that primary email cant be from Apple domain). Why? Why new users could do this and I can not? I dont need third-party email, I dont want to worry about its security (because its a key to all my iCloud services), I want to use just and only Apple service with Apple domain and iCloud address. Why I couldnt do this? Of course I can create new Apple ID (since new users dont have to use third-party address), but I have much apps purchaised from my current Apple ID.

Ideally, you should purchase your own domain name and setup an e-mail address there. Then, if you want, you can forward that to your @icloud.com account.
You can, of course, use an @icloud.com account like any other e-mail address. But, like any other e-mail address, you don't own it. It is owned by "iCloud.com" - Apple. If Apple decided to change plans, or start charging, you have to do as you're told because Apple owns your e-mail address. The same would be true for any e-mail address that you don't own.
Just get your own domain and forward your e-mail to whomever has the best services for your needs.

Can I link my icloud mail address to another Apple ID?

I have an Apple ID with a related email address. I would like to delete the Apple ID but not lose the mail address, could anyone tell me How to keep the email address (an Icloud.com address) but link it to another Apple ID? Thanks.

It will delete the email account. If you want to keep the iCloud email account, you can go to Settings>iCloud and turn off everything but Mail. If you are changing iCloud accounts, you can add it back the existing email account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, signing in with the current account ID and turning Mail on. (Mail in a secondary account like this will be fetch rather than push email.)

How do I get on line stores to recognize my iCloud mail address

when I use my icloud mail for on line shopping or when it's needed for something , there sites do not recognize my email and I can't finish the form .

Yet, I've changed my AppleID in iTunes from the original/initial account to the new and can download music, movies, etc. through iTunes.
So why is this popup window for Updates, which is from the iTunes store, still referencing the old email address?

TS4002 Changing iCloud mail address

Please help me to change from a mistyped email address, [email protected] to [email protected]
It seems a permanent email address in icloud preference and it won't let me change.
I've tried to change in www.icloud.com, iPad/iCloud setting,and iTune. All didn't do it.
Perhaps if I change my apple ID, I may be able to change this email address...
Is this only way ?? It's not making a sense it won't let me change a simple icloud email change
for this much hassle.
Thank you for your advise in advance !!

Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @me.com or @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.
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.

Does someone else have my iCloud Mail address?

I'm either being scammed or someone else has been issued my iCloud email address.
Just started getting lots of "Facebook" titled emails sent to my iCloud address. They are in the name of a different user, though, not me.
How can I contact Apple if this is a duplicate email issued by them in error? How can I tell if it's bogus?

Thanks, but, your link took me here, http://www.apple.com/support/contact/, and the "get started button" didn't work.
Is there another way to access the kb information?
Edit: Actually took me here, https://getsupport.apple.com/Issues.do, and I get the spinning gear.

Icloud mail address question?

So I've tried to research the answer to this, but cannot get a straight answer.
So my Apple ID is [email protected] and My Icloud account is [email protected] (both are the same) but my icloud email address to send and receive emails at is [email protected] (this was the same as an old email used as my apple id at the time that icloud was created)
Is there anyway that I can change the YYY@icloud email address or if not remove that email address linked to my icloud account log in email [email protected] by creating a new icloud account with new @icloud email?
I hope someone can help.
Thanks in advanced.

Hi labaker_05,
iCloud accounts using email addresses ending in iCloud.com cannot be changed. See this article -
Change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
You can change your Apple ID to any address, except an address used by another Apple ID. You can change the address of any Apple ID, except an Apple ID that ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com.
Your [email protected] email address is actually an Apple ID (and iCloud account) that is separate from the Apple ID and iCloud account using [email protected]
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

How to stop corrupt e-mail coming to my iCloud mail address. Is any one hel.

want to stop the corrupt or virus e-mail. It keeps on coming even though put in the spam or junk box.

If your email provider is Apple forward the email to Apple according the the instructions in this Apple document: iCloud: Why am I getting junk mail (spam)?
Do it for every one you receive for a while. That way Apple can try to block them further up the pipeline.

Rename to iCloud or just a iCloud mail address?

If this is a rename of ????@me to ????@iCloud, I get it. Assuming all the old iCloud elements; contacts, calendar, notes reminders etc. become ????@iCloud with mail received to ????@me now being an alias for ????@iCloud, I get it. Why would I want to reconstruct my world manually to ????@iCloud?

Only if you want to. It's optional. Your @me.com will continue to work as always. The @icloud.com is just in addition to, and doesn't have to be used.

How to change e-mail address in iCloud IMAP

how to change e-mail address in iCloud IMAP. i have to change it to another e-mail address.
please help
please find in image.

Welcome to the Apple community usama.butt.
Unfortunately you cannot change an iCloud mail address once you have created it. You can however use an iCloud alias which you can set up at iCloud.com.
To create an alias.....
Navigate to the Mail feature at iCloud.com and click on the gear icon in the bottom left corner. Choose Preferences from the drop down menu, then select accounts from the options across the top, here you can create your alias.

How can I update my Mail program in 10.6.8 to iCloud Mail?

I am running 10.6.8 on my iMac, which is my work "workhorse." I can't update it to Lion because I can't afford to update Quark/Photoshop et al that I'd need. And it works fine.
I also have a Macbook Air running the latest Lion, as well as an iPod 5 running IOS7. Both access my iCloud mail address and folders/filtering set up on iCloud.
However, the Mail program on my iMac is still showing my MobileMe mailbox (and MobileMe is in my system preferences). I had an elaborate filtering-to-folders set up in Mail for my MobileMe account (not in the online MobileMe). I've disabled all the filtering in my Mail program, but iCloud still sends some mail to the older folders I had set up in the program, overriding the new folder-filtering I have set up on iCloud.
So, sometimes I'll get an email sent to my .me email address from a client which I cannot see on my Macbook Air (or iPod) because it's sent to a folder on my iMac. I'm semi-retired so don't do much work anymore so I'd rather not "fire up" the iMac unless I've work to do. But as it is with the Mail situation, I have to leave it on all the time or I can miss client email.
My question is, can I get delete my "mobileme" account in my iMac Mail program and then add my iCloud account to it? I assume the MobileMe in the iMac's system preferences is there for good, because I can't update to Lion. Will that fix my problem, or is that even do-able?
I'm not sure I've stated this clearly. I'm trying to get total coordination between my iMac, MB Air, and iPod mail accounts in the Mail programs of each device without having to resort to using iCloud mail online on my iMac. Perhaps that's unavoidable?
Any help appreciated. If clarification needed, I'll try to explain this better... Thanks all!

You can perfectly well access email in 10.6.8 - I'm doing it myself - and if you are receiving @me.com mail you are already doing so. the @icloud.com version of the address is exactly the same thing, and messages to it will arrive in the inbox alongside those to @me.com.
However if you have set up Rules to act on incoming @me.com mail it obviously won't act on @icloud.com messages, so you will have to duplicate the Rules if you want to keep them.
If you want to try starting over you can delete the account and set it up again, using the method described here:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
You can't access other iCloud facilities in Snow Leopard but if all you are interested in is the email you have no need to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
