Q: iCloud Alias Address Sending to iCloud Address
This is odd: something changed recently - right about the beginning of 2016 - with respect my iCloud.com Email address. It seems to be something very specific, although I'm not yet sure how specific (still experimenting).
Both my mom and I have iCloud.com Email addresses...
- Until ~beginning of 2016, we could send Email back and forth fine, but now her iCloud.com Email address can no longer receive Email from my iCloud.com Email address.
- I, however, can still receive Email from her iCloud.com address.
- As far as I can tell, I'm having no problems sending from and receiving from other non-iCloud.com Email addresses using my icloud.com address. I can send and from to her old AT&T address, for example.
- My iCloud.com Email is actually an alias for an older, less ideal me.com address, and I'm having no problems sending and receiving Email with my mom's iCloud address (or other addresses) using that original base address.
- The problem appears to be limited to my mom's iCloud address receiving Email from my iCloud address, which again is an alias of my older me.com base address.
- I don't yet know whether it's specifically limited to my mom's iCloud address receiving Email from my iCloud address; I'll have to find somebody else with an iCloud address to see if I can send to them fine too. Undoubtedly I can find such a person at the local Apple Store, but haven't had a chance to try that yet.
Anybody seen anything like this before?
