He needs to add the yandex email account either to Internet Accounts or in Mail. Add an email account to Mail on your Mac - Apple Support

iCloud.com is not an alias to the yandex email account. The yandex email account name is the username for AppleID. The iCloud.com email account comes with your AppleID.

If he doesn't want to use iCloud email account, you can disable it in the iCloud section of the AppleID or Internet Accounts System Preferences. Just uncheck Mail.
