In previous versions of iOS, you were able to rename iCloud based mail accounts. This is no longer the case in iOS 15 (and now 16) at least it cannot be done the way it could be done previously.
Can someone verify this can no longer done? Or, if it can be accomplished, how?
Hey DLK0808,
The previously described method will work for non-Cloud accounts but now when loading iCloud accounts the same way, it takes you to iCloud settings, so that info isn't currently able to be edited in the same way. if that's something you'd like to see changed in a future release, be sure to let Apple know via Product Feedback here.
Take care.
I’ve tried that and it doesn’t work. I even went to the online iCloud mail and there is nothing at all regarding my issue.

Thank you Brian_P7. I do feel a bit better knowing it’s not something I was missing.
Appreciate ya.
Hi DLK0808,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand you have some questions about renaming your Mail accounts, and we're happy to help. You can rename an added account in Settings > Mail > Accounts > Tap the account you want to rename > Tap Account > Change the Description to the name you'd like that account to have.
Thanks.
