So how can someone get an email message sent to them ?
Because I'm trying to find it I don't know what to do🤦

If you have private relay enabled, then the Apple generated return email address will be associated with your real email address in Apple’s database.


If someone sends an email to that generated return address, Apple servers will get it and forward the email to you.
