Q: I have two main email accounts, and mail is 'forwarding' emails sent to one account to the other older account, they arrive a few hours later. Not sure why it is duplicating my emails at all. How can I stop this?
Kind of hard to explain in the title... that probably makes no sense.
Basically, I used to use a BTinternet email account for everything. But over the years I've switched to my iCloud email account. I have them both set up in Mail because I still have the BTinternet account linked to a lot of things, despite always using the iCloud for new things now.
However, when I get a message that was originally sent to my new iCloud account, it'll appear as a new message in my BTinternet a few hours later. And it's quite annoying! Makes me think I've got a new email, but it's one that I read hours ago.
It's like there's some rule set up causing Mail to forward all messages sent to my iCloud email, to my BTinternet email. I have no idea why this is happening. There are no actual 'rules' set up to do this under my Mail preferences. Not sure what else it could be.
Any ideas?

Check iCloud.com/Mail, click the gear at the bottom left, select Preferences, then accounts. Is the iCloud account set up to forward e-mails?
