How to setup an iCloud email account on your PC

You'll need to have created an iCloud account on an Apple device first but after you have your iCloud account, you can then set it up on a Windows PC.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Download the iCloud for Windows app - you'll find this in the Microsoft Store if you're running Windows 10 (May 2019 update and later), or you can download it from here.
2. Enter the Apple ID and password you used to setup your iCloud account
3. Turn on the features you want
4. Click Apply

How to create an iCloud email alias

An email alias allows you to hide your iCloud email address from a recipient, as well as manage the emails you receive and monitor unwanted emails, or spam.

It's possible to have three email aliases with iCloud Mail and you can send and receive emails with an alias. It's worth noting that you won't be able to sign into iCloud.com with an email alias and you can't create another Apple ID, nor can the alias be changed to a primary email address.

To create an iCloud email alias, follow these steps:

1. Open iCloud.com on a browser and sign in with your Apple ID
2. Tap on Mail
3. Tap on the Settings cog in the bottom left corner
4. Select Preferences
5. Choose the Account tab
6. Select 'Add an alias...'
7. Choose the alias name, which will become the email address
8. Add a Full Name, which will appear in the From field in the emails you send
9. Choose a label and label colour, which will help you categorise which emails are sent to the alias
10. Tap 'Done'

To disable or delete an iCloud.com alias, follow these steps:

1. Open iCloud.com on a browser and sign in with your Apple ID
2. Tap on Mail
3. Tap on the Settings cog in the bottom left corner
4. Select Preferences
5. Choose the Account tab
6. Select the alias you want to disable or delete on the left
7. Tick the disable alias box
8. Or choose delete
