Tony, Reading your reply to Virginia you talk of ‘Hide my email’. I’m on the latest version of iOS plus updates for phone and iPad but clicking on Mail>Privacy Protection I get an option to Protect Mail Activity and in the blurb it just says it hides the IP address but doesn’t mention anything about an email address. Does PMA include the phone or iPad automatically choosing a random email address or that it an extra that one has to download or is that implied in hiding IP address? Nick
