[MlMt] masked icloud email address

[Henry Seiden]

Alain,

It seems to work for me on v6058. I’ve added this email to my PGP sign-in as well so it’ll look like a legit email and is securely signed. I never knew it would be so easy either.

I do however have to customize the SMTP address each time in MM to continue the obfuscation for each response, temporarily. Your incoming mail shows the alias header.

Could fix it with a new IMAP account for that alias if I choose to in MM. Don’t know if these or just a simple alias fully answer your needs but you may find them interesting. Be advised that Apple also supports a randomly generated Email address feature Custom Email domains or unique email addresses per specific sender in their extended features at this [iCloud.com location](https://www.icloud.com/icloudplus/customdomain) per iCloud+ account.

Instead I will revert your message to the account used for MM Forum henceforth. OK?


Respectfully,

Henry Seiden

Which recent version of Mailmate would you recommend (I currently use 5964), that brings relevant new features but doe not compromise the old ones?

Trouble is I do have to train MailMate (using the customize address drop-down) to put it into the from address, since it responds with my actual email address.
