No, of course not.So am I getting this right - you are trying to reply to yourself?
Perhaps that’s not supported. Why would you want to do that?
What’s your mail provider? iCloud?
Do please test and let me know.Ok, I see.
No idea then why this doesn’t work. Used to work here. I’ll test it again later.

That's odd, seems like a completely different problem!Okay, trying to send an email to one of my "Hide my email" addresses (as listed in my account https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage/section/privacy), I can send it out, but I instantly receive a mail delivery failure report:
?!?

Where are you sending it from?
Your Apple ID address or something else?
Well, it's odd that the error message you received talked about @privaterelay.appleid.comI was sending from another email address to the relay address.
Not sure if that’s a completely different problem. Maybe another symptom of the same problem?
"Private Relay" and "Hide my email" are two different things:I was sending from another email address to the relay address.

Explain that to Apple, please. This email address had been generated when I selected to “hide my email”."Private Relay" and "Hide my email" are two different things:
Well, Apple has already explained it to us. Private Relay protects our internet connection via Safari using two servers. The first being Apple's and the second being CloudFlare or Akamai.Explain that to Apple, please. This email address had been generated when I selected to “hide my email”.
How did you generate that address and how are you generating those other email addresses?Other generated email addresses do not contain the privaterelay part though. No idea about the logic behind it.
How did you generate that address and how are you generating those other email addresses?
You should either generate a new hide my email address in Mail.app directly in the "from" field of a new email, or in System Preferences --> Apple ID --> Hide my email (options).I used the “login with Apple” feature. Not sure if that’s how it’s called in English though.
Sorry, I didn't have time to test this earlier.You should either generate a new hide my email address in Mail.app directly in the "from" field of a new email, or in System Preferences --> Apple ID --> Hide my email (options).
Under your Apple id settings you should see 'contactable at' and that will have all the emails you can use with your Apple id and imessage, telephone numbers etc.
'Forward to' is telling you to forward it to one of those addresses and you should have options for that at the bottom of the 'Hide my' preferences where you should also see what it's currently sending it to.
I don't think hide my uses any addresses which say private relay.
Thanks. Turned out that the forward address was not configured in Mail, because it’s an alias. I added it, and then everything worked.Under your Apple id settings you should see 'contactable at' and that will have all the emails you can use with your Apple id and imessage, telephone numbers etc.
Hide my and Relay are two totally different tabs however so maybe you set this email up using the wrong one?
I don't think hide my uses any addresses which say private relay.
Well, yes, but still I’d expect that emails sent to those addresses should be forwarded to my mail account, too, shouldn’t they? Otherwise I wouldn’t know what they’re here for.
I added one manually as you suggested, and its origin is now "Preferences". If I send an email to that address, I do receive it as expected.
I didn’t. That’s a misunderstanding.I'm puzzled as to how you created hide my email addresses in https://appleid.apple.com/
Surely that should be "From Settings"?
I was referring to what is stated as the origin of the “hide my email” address in the email list in the preferences.
Sorry for causing any misinterpretations.
Well, I originally did this to try if I can reproduce your problem. Well, I can't. Replying to an email that was sent to a "hide my email" address worked.Well, I'm glad we've helped TriciaMacMillan find a solution to her problem, but I'm still no closer to solving mine...
As I'm translating back to English, the wording might be a bit different, but I think we're speaking of different things:I was referring to that too. If I create a new Hide My Email address in System Presences it's stated as "From Settings", not "Preferences". 🤔

I'm trying to reply to email from a company to whom I gave a "Hide My Email" address to.
When I click on "Reply" I get the usual new mail including the quoted original message, but the recipient's address, and my "Hide My Email" address are greyed out, but I can type my reply.
When I attempt to send I get the message in my screenshot.
