Using edit on applid.apple.com to change me Apple ID. but I always receive the message "you can only add the @icloud.com address that is already on file in your account." That sounds like the Apple ID I am using on MAIL. Stumped.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2
If your Apple ID ends with @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com you cannot change it.
If it doesn't you can change it to the @icloud.com address you originally created, but not to any email aliases you have created.

You can do this easily at the Mail page on https://www.icloud.com. First, set up an email alias - this is an additional address, not account: please see https://support.apple.com/guide/icloud/mm6b1a490a/1.0/icloud/1.0
Now click the cogwheel icon at bottom left, choose Preferences and go to the Composing pane:
Use the 'Send from' section to choose the address youi want to send from.
In the Mail app you can choose the address you want to send from, but I'm not sure you can make it a default.
You could just create a new iCloud account in Settings>iCloud: that will create a Mail account but of course also a new iCloud Drive and backup destination, and contacts and calendars. You can retain the previous account in Apple Music/iTunes for purchases.
Thanks. Is there a way to set up a second @cloud email account that will be the default sender and recipient of mail? For example, if my appleid is M100@iCloud.com can I make M200@Cloud.com my default email on Mail?
