Multiple email addresses under one iCloud ID

In years past, I was able to establish individual email addresses under my Apple ID, i.e., name@me.com (original), name2@icloud.com, name3@icloud.com, plus 3 others (these are not alias accounts as messages are directed to each separate email address). I have recently tried to establish a seventh email address in the same way, that is, through 'Mail - Add Account' but this does not seem to be an option anymore.


  1. Have I maxed out the number of individual email accounts I can establish under one Apple ID?
  2. If so, is a new alias account possible?

3. Or, is there a way to establish a separate email account without having to establish a second Apple ID?

"Depending on when you created your iCloud account, your iCloud email addresses and aliases may end with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com domains. Learn how these email addresses are granted."


I think anything you have done in the past is basically grandfathered in and can't be changed. As it currently stands, Apple allows a primary address and 3 aliases.
