Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
Having set up a Hide My Email, I haven't yet sent an email from the new 'alias' that has been established. The newly created email address doesn't appear in my drop down 'email accounts' (the 'From' tab). Probably a simple answer but as yet don't see how I can send an email as there is no option of including it in the 'From' category, even when copying the generated email address. Can someone assist, please. Thanks.

Thank you, but not sure you quite understand my inquiry. I understand all about Hide My Email. My inquiry involves how the ‘From’ drop-down menu does not include the randomly created email address, so how does one actually send an email with this alias address? Or am I totally out to lunch?

Hi CuriouslyMe,
We'd like to help share some information about What is Hide My Email?, and in this article will cover that random email addresses that automatically forward to your personal inbox. Each address is unique to you. You can read and respond directly to emails sent to these addresses and your personal email address is kept private. This would indicate that the emails that are forward to you then will have you reply with this randomly generated email address. We hope this helps.

Hi CuriouslyMe,
What it sounds like you are wanting to do more specifically is not an optional choice. When the hidden email receives and email that is then forwarded to the email address you choose, the reply remains hidden, and does not give an optional drop down as the sending address. In the link we shared are the only optional uses for Hide My Email, and if you have suggestions or feature request about this, we recommend to leave this here: Product Feedback
