Can't connect on iCloud Mail on Apple Mail Mac when Apple ID is not an address to iCloud

My Apple ID is connected to my AOL ([email protected]) address and I use this AOL address in combination with my iCloud password, whenever I want to access iCloud. So far so good. But I can not access my [email protected] email with Apple Mail.

When I go to Preferences > accounts in Apple Mail, the alias is [email protected] and therefore my "email". But it is false. [email protected] is my login Apple ID but not my email to iCloud. When I try to change the alias, then click Security in the context menu, popup freezes and I have to force quit Apple Mail. Whenever I have change the e-mail address and click on another account, Apple Mail asking me to safety and then freezes when I click OK.

I want to keep [email protected] as my primary Apple ID but wish to access my emails to iCloud. How is that possible?

Do not try to set up in the mail. Go to System Preferences > iCloud. If necessary, enter your ID and password, then select "Mail" in the list here. This should configure the Mail application correctly without additional intervention.
