Cover my email is the neat function launched by apple earlier, and since then I’ve been attempting to determine how I can use these ahead addresses as sender tackle when composing emails on the iPhone.
The adressess don’t seem when tapping on present sender tackle when composing an email in apple mail.
I figured I ought to attempt to add one of many «disguise my email» ahead addresses manually in appleid.apple.com as an alias, however the technique of including an alias cease at ready for a verification code from the appleid service.
Using «disguise my email» if I can’t ship or reply an email is proscribed to signing up for newsletters.
Any perception on this?
edit: additionally within the browser icloud.com/Mail behind the gear icon you’ll be able to add as much as 3 aliases, however the rule «Alias names might solely comprise unaccented letters, numbers, intervals, and underscores.» disqualify the generated «disguise my email» addresses as they usually comprise a - signal
2nd edit: I did some additional digging and located a associated function in a latest staff up between 1password and fastmail known as “masked email” and integration. Fastmail supposedly present the flexibility to ship from the randomly generated addresses.
third edit: an additional function with icloud+ is customized area as icloud email. you’ll need to replace DNS information at your area registrar/host with TXT, SPF, MX servers, and DKIM to level to icloud. This function do permit to be used of extra addresses pointing to the identical mailbox, and new addresses are pretty easy to create and delete, however they won’t be random like these “disguise my email” generate as you’ll have to handle them your self, and so they all level to your personal customized area anyway
4th edit: don’t know why I didn’t discover this function earlier than, however apparently «Cover my email» function seamless reply to email, solely not a ship from choice when composing email.
additionally the customized area function with icloud+ seem to have a problem with DKIM signing email despatched from an iphone mail app. For some cause sending from the browser model of icloud mail signal despatched mail with DKIM.
