Be able to remove the default recipient only if another recipient exists and can then be placed as the new default.

If there are email aliases with old default recipients in the system, the user would get a prompt telling them they first need to make sure they no longer have aliases with that recipient tied to it before they can perform such actions.

Once they don't have any aliases tied to the recipient they would like to delete they can now delete it allowing them to choose another alias as default.

@willbrowningme commented on GitHub (Oct 19, 2021):

This is already the case, the default recipient cannot be deleted from the recipients page. You must first update the account's default recipient in the settings before you can delete it.

You can easily check which aliases are linked to a particular recipient on the recipients page.

Any alias that has the label "default" in the recipients column on the aliases page will simply move over to forwarding to the new default recipient if you update it.
