Part 1. How to delete an email in Mail on iCloud.com

Just before you learn how to perform this task, you should note that when you delete the email, it goes straight to the trash mailbox. Afterward, the message stays in the trash mailbox for 30 days before the system permanently erases it. With that fact established, let’s walk you through the steps straight away.

Step 3: The next action is to click on the Delete or Backspace key. Drag the message you wish to delete to the Trash, which you can locate in the sidebar. At this point, you have accomplished your mission.

Part 2. Can't delete the iCloud email address? Change email aliases

Before showing you how you can use this technique, you need to understand what an Apple alias means.

To alter it, follow the outlines below.

Step 1: From the Mail in iCloud.com, tap the Settings popup menu in the sidebar of your device. Afterward, choose Preferences.

Step 2: At this stage, you will have to click on Accounts. Go to the Alias in the Addresses list and select it.

Step 3: To change it, go to Change the Label. Once you have done that, enter the new label in the field provided. Note that the Alias labels are only available in Mail on iCloud.

Step 4: Go ahead and choose the new color for the label by selecting the label of your choice.

Step 5: Change the full names by entering the name of your choice. When you have done that, then click on Done.
