Disable Hide My Email

How do I completely remove or disable the Hide my Email feature? I am so sick of it asking me and prompting me to hide my email every time I need to send an email from my work email! The stupid prompt blocks my sending email address field. It's a nuisance!

Mail issues loading content in macOS Monterey 12.0.1


Open mail app select Mail>Preferences>Privacy disable “Protect Mail Activity” / “Hide IP address” / “Block all remote content” —content for the email will load automatically


also known issues involving 3rd party anti-virus preventing iCloud mail from loading content in Apple Mail

Bro.. I’m talking about the new hide my email feature. It’s in the iCloud settings. It has nothing to do with what you’re posting. Again, thanks for your help, but if you don’t know what you’re talking about, stop responding.

What does a VPN have to do with an iCloud feature? No need to post responses if you don’t know what you’re talking about.


Not sure why you keep circling around to iCloud. If it does not apply to you—ignore that part.



? Make changes to your user Mail>Preferences>Privacy



Uninstall /disable any VPN

Uninstall/ disable any Anti-virus —both known to cause the issue as well.

Incorrect! I’m not using my iCloud email. This prompt asking me if I want to hide my email shows up on all my email accounts - google, outlook, yahoo. In the iCloud settings, this is the only feature without an option to uncheck and deactivate it. I’m tired of trying to send emails and getting prompted EVERY TIME! This feature makes sense if I’m having to enter my email address in some website, but not every time I’m trying to send an email from one of my accounts.

if you’re using a Virtual Private Network (VPN), disable it/ uninstall it.
