iCloud Email @iCloud : how to deactivate it for good?

[katbel]

I have my Apple primary email and then the NON REQUESTED @iCloud.com
I tried to deactivate it following the Apple suggestions but I still receive email there,
only spam and I wonder why, because I've never used it
No spam to my primary, only to the iCloud.com that shows in my Apple Account as an alias.
How to stop receiving emails just there ? How to delete it for good?

In iMessage and FaceTime it's so easy: unchecked that one
In Mail why can't do the same!?

Edit: oh, you still want to use an Apple email. Never mind.

You can't, and it's technically not an alias...at least not one of the three we're allowed to create/delete. If you had an account before August 1, 2012, you automatically got an @icloud.com email address and can't do anything about it. I'd love to get rid of mine too.

Depending on when you created your iCloud account, your iCloud email addresses and aliases may end with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com domains. Learn how these email addresses are granted.

A workaround would probably be to log into iCloud.com and set up a mail rule (i.e. move messages addressed to @icloud.com to Trash).

Thanks anyway for your explanation: this is what I already did, not being able to do anything else

iCloud is such an enormous disaster, people are begging to delete their own email address!!!
