Once it is created you cannot change it. The best option

… Click the link below to get an ALIAS email address for
your existing account. It´s absolutely free. Use it just as
you would for your primary address (which of course you
can still use). To make things handy, you can send and
receive email from either address from the same inbox.
You will also, by doing this, not lose anything from your
original account. IE: emails, contacts etc. Any email sent
to either address will go to the same inbox and you can
sign in to either email address with the same password.

If you have set up your alias properly when you create a
NEW email or FORWARD/REPLY to one that you have
received the first screen you see will have your email
address in the FM line. If you click on the down arrow on
the right side of the FM line you will bring up your other
email address. Click on that and it will replace your
primary email address. If clicking on the down arrow on
the right side of the FROM does not show the other email
address it means you have not set your alias up properly.
Recheck the steps you took.
