Dec 5, 2014 9:32 AM in response to Star Travelerby Phil_NYC,Reviving this thread... I've also been wondering about this. What's confusing is that I'm not always getting an email notification (in other words, every day after signing in to my icloud calendar in the morning), but only at what seems like random intervals, a few times a month. Anyone else has experienced this?

Jan 10, 2015 9:27 AM in response to gail from maineby evanw4,We're talking about Apple sending me an annoying email reminding me that I logged into iCloud on my own computer. This is not a helpful security measure. It is an annoyance that they can easily fix. Users pay for Apple's stuff. Apple should give them the courtesy of turning on or off annoying emails rather than forcing them. It is unnecessary that this is even an issue. What's worse is your claim that we shouldn't be annoyed by it. People receive so many emails, so no one wants to just sort through even more pointless emails.

Jan 10, 2015 9:48 AM in response to evanw4by Roger Wilmut1,You can fix it yourself if you care to read my post, the sixth on the first page of this thread, which tells you how to automatically shunt such emails to the Trash so you needn't be bothered by them.

Jan 11, 2015 4:02 PM in response to Roger Wilmut1by evanw4,Okay, thanks. I read that. My iCloud alert emails appear to come from "noreply@apple.com" rather than "noreply@insideicloud.icloud.com." Am I missing something? I am concerned other important emails may come from "noreply@apple.com." Is this true? If so, then I have the following concern. If I set a filter to direct all emails from "noreply@apple.com" to the trash, I would not want the other important emails to be trashed as well. Thoughts?

Jan 11, 2015 6:09 PM in response to wrubelsby owen.nik ,It is annoying, but honestly(if you really think about it), what if someone logged into your account and you didn't know and they could have all your data and stuff. so just live with it, because it truly is helpful.

Feb 16, 2015 6:45 AM in response to emberjarby gail from maine,Thanks for giving us your opinion on a comment in a thread that you were not even a part of, and which was posted 5 months ago. Who's the troll?

Jul 3, 2015 4:55 PM in response to wrubelsby edwardzbrown,regardless of how old the original post is, today I decided to look online for help in turning these emails off. I don't have nude photos of myself on my icloud, but solid point people, for those of you. I get annoyed by the constant reminders. I get into my icloud daily. I delete erroneous emails from apple daily. It ***** that I can't turn that off. I don't get reminders from Yahoo every time I look at news. DropBox doesn't send me an email reminder every time I log in. NetFlix doesn't tell me every time I watch a movie. It's stupid. sorry, that's how I feel.

Jul 27, 2015 6:52 AM in response to wrubelsby marchildy,I agree that this is annoying. I use iCloud on a PC at work and with private browsing or incognito enabled I often have to log back in. It would be far more intelligent if:
- It recognized the computer or IP address that you were logging in from and only sent the message when it didn't recognize the device, (this is enabled in other apple security).
- It presented a notification on iOS/OSX devices rather than an email.
- I'm happy to make a rule, but as expressed earlier I'm concerned to catch other important email with the rule.
Gail should be dropped a level for adding completely irrelevant and unsupportive replies to this thread.
Thank you for bringing this up.

Sep 21, 2015 6:35 PM in response to marchildyby pavel+,getting emails like this makes my blood boil and quite honestly I have stopped using iCloud on the web EVER - because of this. If they keep this up, I will move back to Microsoft, who is just a bad in their own way but, nothing, nothing and nothing makes me hate a setup like not being able to turn off well intentioned spam.

Jan 8, 2016 7:36 PM in response to wrubelsby Spleen387,If someone has already logged onto my icloud.com they can go to my mail and delete the notification because it's sent immediately!
this does nothing for security, it's just annoying
-
Jan 28, 2016 11:31 AM in response to Phil_NYCby jnye,Phil_NYC asks about the seeming inconsistency of the notification. That's been my experience. I can log on w/ IE, Chrome or Safari via different devices and sometimes I get a notice, sometimes I don't. What gives? In my case I would like to know when the account is being accessed.

That doesn't make any sense because your rescue email isn't the same as your iCloud email!
-
Jan 28, 2016 4:08 PM in response to zinacefby gail from maine,The discussion is not about Rescue emails, it is about notification emails that are sent to your Apple ID/iCloud email accounts notifiying you that someone has logged on to your iCloud.com account (which, of course, can be done from computer that has an internet connection).
Cheers,
