What is an iCloud email alias?
An email alias is an email address that conceals your primary email address from a recipient. An alias can help you manage the email you receive and monitor the sources of unwanted messages. You can both send and receive email from an email alias.
How many iCloud accounts can I have?
Apple limits iPhones and iPads to a maximum of three free iCloud accounts or Apple IDs per device. This is a hardware limitation and there’s nothing you can do about it. Typically, iOS and iPadOS users sign in with just one Apple account and use it across all their devices, so there’s no way you’re reaching the limit.
Why can’t I upload files from my iCloud drive?
If a certain document isn’t being uploaded to iCloud from your Mac, you just have to make a small change in it. After doing that, you’ll force that file to upload. Alternatively, you can also try renaming the file and see if that helps. This is a simple workaround if you have several files stuck, so be sure to try it.

What happens when an alias is deleted on iCloud?

What happens when you create an alias email address?
By creating an alias, you’re adding a buffer between the email sender and your master email address. They never see that master email address; all the messages sent to your alias addresses automatically appear in your normal inbox—the one attached to your real email address—and the sender need never know that address in order to reach you.
Can a MobileMe alias be converted to a primary email account?
An email alias can’t be converted to a primary email account. Note: If you had five MobileMe email aliases when you moved your account to iCloud, you retain the five aliases. However, if you delete one of your five aliases, you can’t create a new one to replace it. In Mail on iCloud.com, click in the sidebar, then choose Preferences.
