Re: iCloud and aliases
Sabahattin, Thanks. It should work ok in Thunderbird for now. Its just a bit different from what I am used to but I can work with it and get ready to move over to the Mac.

This is not normally a problem unless you are sending mail on behalf of someone else, which typical usage wouldn't result in you doing. However, you can redirect mail from Apple Mail without issue.

iCloud and aliases
Yes I am still working my way thru the transition from Windows to Mac. Actually I was looking at what changes I wanted to make to my email before I went too far. I created an iCloud account then an alias this weeeknd. I had the primary email address set up in Thunderbird Windows. I am not going to use that email address tho (as per suggestions made on the list), so made the alias. Before I work on this on the Mac, I wanted to set the alias up in Thunderbird. Because the alias is tied to the icloud account, I cannot have both the primary and alias setup. Correct? It may not matter but want to make sure. Then I can start cleaning up emails and once the Mac side is done, I will be good to go. Quote of the nanosecond . . . "Don't get caught up on traffic lights.
