    iOS14: Mail defaults to @icloud.com as the from address instead of @mac.com

    One of the few who still uses @mac.com for the email address. After the upgrade I am noticing that the from address defaults to @icloud.com even though the settings still points to @mac.com address. Not sure if anyone here is noticing that.
