To Use as an Alias: a custom email address may help secure an online address behind

another layer that could keep it safer from predatory interests. Such examples of that

Beyond the related article above this discussion, there is a general reason outside vanity

to use these as shields; in variety of ways and means, for personal and corporate needs.

With this idea, Apple allows useful pragmatic ideas; to help end-user groups with means.


An example for iCloud Mail:

•Add and manage email aliases for iCloud Mail on iCloud.com - Apple Support

•Set up iCloud Mail on all your devices - Apple Support
