I would like to use an iCloud email alias instead of my main iCloud email address because the main one does a terrible job at filtering spam messages. I also can't stand the email address name that I created back when I first created the account. Is there a way to do this? Trying to reduce the amount of emails that I have and move over from Gmail.

  • You can use any email service that allows forwarding the mail to your iCloud address.

You can create an alias for your iCloud mail by going to Mail on iCloud.com. Tap the settings button at the top of the mailboxes list. Here’s a link from Apple.

If you have iCloud+ you also have the option of using a custom domain.

  • That doesn’t answer my question, I know how to create an email alias in iCloud. I want to know if there’s a way I can “turn off” the main iCloud email address and use the alias as my main instead. I don’t want to receive new emails from the main address.

  • I suppose you could simply change your "main" email address for iCloud to the proposed alias, and then add the old "main" one back as an alias for the new one. But why not just stop looking at the "main" one, and only look at the alias? You do not need to forward the alias to the main address, and you could also use different mail clients for each. Would that not work for your purposes?
