[MlMt] masked icloud email address

[Henry Seiden]

Alain,

This article explains use of iCloud alias or randomly generated email addresses as a feature of the iCloud Service.

Not sure what your goal is by using this feature.

As I said if you want to obfuscate your real address and only send from it, you will need a new setting for the SMTP. You may also need to set up the same email  as Ian incoming MAP Server  to fully accomplish your goal. That was my option #2.

If the alias is working properly this option may not show any incoming email at all. Hence why I said try it and see.

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
