I have an alias email account which shows up on my iMac (and obviously receives email messages) but I cannot seem to figure out why I cannot see the same account on either my MacBook pro or my iPad. Why would this be please anyone?
MacBook Pro 15″, 10.13
Are all devices on same Apple ID?
Use email aliases in Mail on Mac
An email alias is like a nickname and helps to keep your actual email address private. When you send emails using an alias, your recipients never see your actual email address.
Create or change an alias
on your Mac, choose Mail > Preferences, then click Accounts.
, then enter a name and email address.
.Yes - all devices are on the same Apple ID
I have followed your steps at '3' above; however, when I choose Edit Email Addresses it takes me to the iCloud page and when I attempt to type in the alias to match my iMac it says that address is not available!!
I think my issue must be that some time ago I added an additional email address to my iCloud account. This I did on my iMac desktop. Maybe I’m just confusing myself with my references to an “alias” email address. Nevertheless, with all 3 other devices (iPhone 6S, iPad Pro & MacBook Pro) signed in to iCloud I should still be able to see the additional email on each. So, I don’t understand why that is not the case.
There must be someone out there who can help please!!
In a nutshell my issue seems to be my inability to retrieve the password for my additional iCloud email account and thus add the account to my other devices. On mob iMac I explored Launchpad/Password keychain and located the email address / Get info / show password /tried using the password when adding the account to my iPad = Verification Failed wrong Apple ID or Password
HOW CAN I DO THIS PLEASE?
This is what is showing up on my iMac where I can see the account and send/receive emails accordingly. But I cannot understand what I have to do in order to have the same access to this account on my MacBook Pro, my iPad Pro or my iPhone. (This may sound dumb but I'm sure this is an 'Alias' account and not a separate email account).
