Yep I don’t know why Apple don’t just sync them properly.
Thank you!! finally someone who can wrap their brain around my post. It’s so frustrating! And as you said, it works in one direction but not the other. And now, every time I see that damn @icloud.com email clutching on to my Apple ID (after making my gmail my primary again), I’m like “I hate you. Go away” it’s like a mosquito
But why? they cant just say something like that without explaining the unlogical reason behind it.
Well they did! The person I chatted to will have no idea why that decision was made.
A customer service representative probably doesn’t need to know those finer details 😜

This isn’t true. I tried it, and you know what happened after i made my gmail my primary email? My icloud email became An alias instead. You know, in contact info you have your email and phone number, the iCloud moved to alias and you cannot delete it.Apple recently changed the rule that you cannot change your Apple ID from an @icloud email address to a third party. Previously, this wasn't allowed, but now it is.

Apple Makes Slight Change to Apple ID Email Address Options • iPhone in Canada Blog
Apple has modified a slight change to Apple ID email address options.
So OP, if you want to switch your Apple ID to a non-iCloud email and get off of it because the issues you have, you can. I do not use my iCloud email enough to see if I have the issue you are describing. I still wish gmail supported PUSH in the stock iOS Mail app and I miss it from my @att email that used to have PUSH through Yahoo until that was removed too.
I think you are confusing what I'm saying. Changing your Apple ID does not get rid of your iCloud email, but it makes it less tied in to your Apple ID ecosystem, which is what you asked for in the above statement
No. I want to disattach the icloud email from my Apple ID. And by it still being linked as an alias means it’s still a part of my Apple ID.
Your Apple ID comes with an iCloud Email. No way to opt out of that. By not having IT your Apple ID, you can choose to never use it, have it on any devices, etc. Apple will email everything that is pertinent to your Apple ID to the primary email.
No that’s not what OP is asking. They changed their AppleID email to their iCloud address but they are saying they can’t change it back to a different address.
I can change the primary email, but I can’t completely remove the iCloud address from my Apple ID. Once I added gmail to My Apple ID info, the iCloud address turned automatically into an alias next to my phone number.
You can’t remove it because ALL Apple IDs are given a free iCloud email. Whether you choose to use it or not is your choice
Did Apple Support tell this on phone, or through some email?
I have a non-cloud email id as the primary email on my Apple ID. The @icloud address is an alias tied to that Apple ID. But still all Apple emails are received on my alias email @iCloud.com address and not the primary non-apple email address.
The unread count not updating is one thing. But I also find that mails deleted on one device still continue to have their notifications persist on all other devices, even after those other devices have synced with the server and mail app had been opened on those devices.
You get your purchase receipt there? I’m not talking about Apple’s newsletter and ads, just their purchase receipts. I receive those only on the email address that is my Apple ID, not my @icloud email
