Will icloud email aliases continue to work if primary Apple ID email is changed?

If I change the primary email of my Apple ID will the existing aliases continue to receive email?


Currently using an @icloud.com address as the primary; will be moving to third party email or purchasing a custom domain.


Thank you.

Hello KbBztwTadBbu,


Thanks for reaching out to us in Apple Support Communities about your email addresses. We're happy to help by looking into this more! 


Your aliases email accounts are linked to your iCloud account, not the primary email address. As long as keep your original iCloud account your email account will not be affected.


Hope this helps.


Best Regards.
