Create an email address for iCloud Mail
If you set up iCloud using an Apple ID that doesn’t end with @icloud.com, you must create an @icloud.com email address on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac before you can use iCloud Mail.
Note: If you set up iCloud using an Apple ID that ends with @mac.com or @me.com, you don’t need to set up an @icloud.com email address to use iCloud Mail. You already have an equivalent address that ends with @icloud.com.
On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch: Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud, turn on Mail and follow the on-screen instructions.
On your Mac: Choose Apple menu
> System Preferences and then do one of the following:macOS 10.15 or later: Click Apple ID, click iCloud, select Mail and follow the onscreen instructions.
macOS 10.14 or earlier: Click iCloud, select Mail and follow the on-screen instructions.
If you don’t see onscreen instructions after turning on iCloud Mail on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac, you already have a primary iCloud Mail email address. To create an email alias, see Use email aliases on iCloud.com.
After you set up your @icloud.com email address, you can use it to sign in to iCloud.com and your devices in addition to your Apple ID.
