Can I change the name of the iCloud mailbox in the iOS mail app? For example I have several accounts coming into my mail app (gmail etc). I could change the description of those accounts to change those - instead of showing my email address in the mail app. I cannot seem to change the iCloud mailbox name. Any ideas? Note this is not the changing the display name of an email issue.

Hi KevinRKinney,


So we understand correctly, are you currently seeing the name of the account as "iCloud" in the Mail app, and you want to change that name to something else? If so, there isn't a way to change that description at this time. If you'd like to see the option change in the future, we encourage you to submit Product Feedback


If we've misunderstood your question in any way, please feel free to provide more details and we'll continue helping from there.


Have a great day.
