Getting notified when my iPhone is found at a different email address? If my iPhone gets stolen and I try to use Find my iPhone while it's off, I am given the option to be notified by email when my iPhone is found.

I believe this sends an email to my iCloud account.

I see 2 problems with this:


Since my iCloud address was automatically set up to receive email on my iPhone, the person who currently has possession of the phone will also be notified when my phone was located. They could then take measures in order to make it harder to find the phone. Ideally they wouldn't get a notification message when my phone is found.
My iPhone was the only place that I used to get my iCloud messages. Right now I would need to manually login to iCloud.com and check the email every so often to see if it's been located. I realize that I could use an application such as Apple's Mail app to check this account automatically, but I am not using Mail right now. I'm using Gmail instead, and would prefer to get the message at my Gmail address.


Is there any way to send the email to a different address and/or bypass these 2 issues after the phone is stolen?
You can setup your gmail account as default iCloud account.

To do this : 


Go to settings
Mail Contacts, Calenders option
Add new Email Account
Choose iCloud Account
Choose Get a Free Apple ID
When it asks for Email provide your Gmail Address
It will then pair your email with iCloud account so that you can use it as primary iCloud account
Once setup is done go to iCloud in Settings and change the account from iCloud me address to your newly setup Gmail iCloud Account


Hope it helps :)
