Is it safe to use iCloud mail as login for AppleID? I created my apple account originally with gmail, but I’m slowly transitioning out of the google mail and am considering changing my Apple ID as well. But given that the mail is part of the account, is it safe to use it? Are there any guides how to best secure account while using icloud mail? Having a different mail as backup for recover? Something more?

thanks all for the answers, I switched to @icloud for my AppleID. It indeed said that I won't be able to switch the email back to other if I will do this, but if I will ever want to get rid of @icloud, I will probably as well will be getting rid of all the Apple services :D
