So maybe it's just me, but I'm having a heck of a time getting it to work completely.
I have essentially 2 Apple IDs. One is my iCloud address, and the other supports email. Trying to use HMEA is proving to be a pain...
The latest is trying to send emails from macOS Mail. Clicking 'Hide my email' in the From line of a mew message leads me to the message 'Update Your "Forward To" Email Address'. Then the vague 'Go to Hide My Email settings, and change your "Forward to" address to one that is set up in the Mail App."
So I try to put in my iCloud email supported address (because the other address, my Apple ID is there). So I finally found the area I needed to add a supported address (it can't be found in the System Settings search box for some reason), and get the message 'This address is not available. Choose a different address.' NOT AVAILABLE??? Um, Yes It Is...
So since my Apple ID address is there, why can't it be used? It's in 'Reachable at', yet can't apparently be used for HMEA for some bizarre reason.
Yet some HMEA addresses DO work. Some don't. Some that I have used an address created in iCloud, I have never heard from. So is it working, is it now working, are the messages going nowhere, or are they just getting lost in the either.
HMEA seems to be the most useless and pointless 'feature' of all.
Or maybe it's me confusing the whole thing with my 2 addresses. I'm sure that I'm not the only one with this 'problem'.
