Yes, you can assign a new address. The problem is that you are not able to assign one whose domain is owned by Apple. So, I could change from Gmail to yahoo or AOL for my Apple ID, but since Apple owns iCloud, I can't use my iCloud address. My Gmail address is tied to one ID, my iCloud address is a separate ID. My email is on my iCloud, my purchases are on my Gmail, and there's no way to merge the two, which is sad. On May 14, 2014, at 2:54 PM, Tim Kilburn <kilbu...@me.com> wrote:
