My account gets switched sometimes to using Apple's preferred (du jour) 
domain. I'm not sure what causes it, but you can fix it back using 
individual apps.

Go into your Mail.app Preferences > Accounts (*not* Mail.app Accounts) 
and make sure your alias list only has your preferred domain in it. Do 
the same thing on the iCloud.com website.

Similarly check your Messages and FaceTime apps to make sure they're 
using your expected domain.
