Change iCloud apple ID alias email

Hi,


i am getting frustrated in the process of cleaning and shifting my stuff from gmail and hotmail and their respective drives into the apple universe.


How do i delete or at least change this in the blue box:



note: my apple id is old, vast my library. creating a new apple id and start all over again is not an option.


cheers for help

"Change iCloud apple ID alias email: appreciate the swift reply! one more: it seem that its also impossible to use the 'primary email address' or any of its aliases as my apple-id (log-in), right?"

You are welcome.


No. You can.

  1. Go Here: Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
  2. As it reads: "If you try to change your Apple ID to an @icloud.com email address that was created within the last 30 days, you will be asked to try again later."

This is not an Option:

You cannot delete the primary eMail address.


Where to Go:

  1. See Here: Add and Manage eMail Aliases for iCloud Mail on iCloud.com - Apple Support
  2. Scroll to: The bottom of the page
  3. As it Reads: "You can’t delete or turn off a primary iCloud Mail address."
