[QUOTE="Ember1205, post: 1760397, member: 374272"] While I would say that setting up an alias is simple, all toMACsh wants to do is change the "friendly name" for the account he already has. Think of it this way... If your name were Jane Doe and your email address were [email]jane.doe@icloud.com[/email], what's the -simplest- change you can make if you get married to John Smith and take his last name? Your email address can stay exactly the same, but you change the "friendly name" (the display name that recipients actually -see-) to Jane Smith. Creating an alias would be akin to setting up a PO Box at the Post Office just because your last name changed. Just update -some- of the information without actually changing the -delivery address- that it goes to. [/QUOTE]
