Icloud IMAP email address

Hi there, somehow my wife's email address has been linked to the Icloud account that I have. In every other place my user ID is my own and my phone number is my own. I have tried to delete or change the Icloud IMAP email account but I can't. Are there any tips here?

As per the article Add and manage email aliases for iCloud Mail on iCloud.com - Apple Support

Turn off, turn on or delete an alias

You can turn an email alias on or off at any time. You can also delete email aliases that you no longer want to use. While turning off an email alias is temporary, deleting it is permanent. When an alias is turned off or deleted, email sent to that alias is returned to the sender.

  1. In Mail on iCloud.com, click  at the top of the Mailboxes list, then choose Settings.
  2. Click Accounts, select an iCloud Mail alias in the list, then do any of the following:
    • Turn off an alias: select “Disable alias”.
    • Turn on an alias: deselect “Disable alias”.
    • Delete an alias: click “Delete alias”, then click Delete.
  1. Click Done.
