That would be your iCloud account. The me.com email service was shut down years ago. If you transitioned to iCloud in time, your me.com email was retained, but only as an alias to your iCloud account.


In your icloud account settings, under email you should see your iCloud and me.com emails as “reachable” addresses as they both go to the same inbox.


If you then go to settings -> accounts & passwords, under mail, go to advanced settings and you can set your iCloud account to use either your iCloud.com or your me.com address as the primary address for your iCloud IMAP mail account.
