Hello, Many thanks to those who replied to my last week post on the above topic. Using VoiceOver on my iMac I can now add up to 3 aliases to my iCloud mail account. All aliases have to b eEmail addresses which end in @icloud.com and can start with anything which is not already taken by someone else. So I can set up an alias such as [email protected] to both receive and send Emails (assuming that paulshopper is not already taken by someone else). Alas I cannot use aliases to send and receive Email from [email protected].
I had terrible trouble with 2 factor authentication while doing the above and in the end had to turn off 2 factor authentication and instead rely on my appleid password and security questions for protection. The 2 factor authentication sent an authorisation code to my iPhone as expected but if I was a bit slow timed out before I could enter that code onto my iMac. that resulted in my entering some obsolete authentication codes which resulted in my being locked out of my appleid account for several hours. 2 factor authentication is not a great idea for VoiceOver users.
