Does anyone know why? About once a week my 6S+ iPhone will revert back to my iCloud email address as it's default. I never use my iCloud address and would like to stop this from happening again.
Turn off the address altogether?

Found it. Never used my me.com account and still interested as why it would switch over to this as my default account.
It doesn't - what it does, is it jumps to the first account that was set up. As most of us set up our iOS devices, we have to log in using an Apple account; at that point, it sets up iCloud mail for you (whether you want it, or not).
So, even if you subsequently add extra mail accounts (such as during a restore, or manually) they will always be the second, or third, or fourth (or however many) you set up.
Disabling iCloud mail doesn't remove this "switch to" behaviour, it just means iOS will switch to the first account in the list now (which won't be iCloud, if you disable its mail handling component).
