Add and manage email aliases for iCloud Mail on iCloud.com
After you set up a primary iCloud Mail address, you can create up to three @icloud.com email aliases on iCloud.com. After you set up an alias, you can send and receive mail from that alias on iCloud.com and on any device that has Mail turned on in iCloud settings.
If you set up a custom domain with iCloud+, you can change the full name that appears with your custom domain addresses in Mail preferences. You can create and manage your email addresses for that domain on the iCloud+ Features page on iCloud.com.
Note: If you had five MobileMe email aliases when you moved your account to iCloud, you would retain the five aliases. However, if you delete one of your five aliases, you cannot create a new one to replace it.
Create an email alias
In Mail on iCloud.com, click
at the top of the Mailboxes list, then choose Settings.Click Accounts, then click “Add an alias”.
Provide the requested information:
Alias: the text you provide becomes the email address (alias@icloud.com). An alias must contain between 3 and 20 characters.
Full Name: the name you provide appears in the From field of the messages you send.
Label: aliases are listed alphabetically by label.
Click Add, then click Done.
Change the full name or label
You can change the full name for an alias or a custom domain address. You can change the label for an alias.
In Mail on iCloud.com, click
at the top of the Mailboxes list, then choose Settings.Click Accounts, then select an address in the list.
Edit the full name or label, then click Done.
Turn off, turn on or delete an alias
You can turn an email alias on or off at any time. You can also delete email aliases that you no longer want to use. While turning off an email alias is temporary, deleting it is permanent. When an alias is turned off or deleted, email sent to that alias is returned to the sender.
In Mail on iCloud.com, click
at the top of the Mailboxes list, then choose Settings.Click Accounts, select an iCloud Mail alias in the list, then do any of the following:
Turn off an alias: select “Disable alias”.
Turn on an alias: deselect “Disable alias”.
Delete an alias: click “Delete alias”, then click Delete.
Click Done.
Note: You cannot delete or turn off a primary iCloud Mail address. You cannot use an alias to create a separate Apple ID, and an email alias cannot be converted to a primary iCloud Mail address.
