Apple mail alias not working

Frustrating! Apple Mail aliases not working can be a real pain. Let's troubleshoot together to get it up and running again.

Here are some common issues and potential solutions:

1. Check the alias setup:
   • Make sure you've created the alias correctly in your Apple ID settings.
   • Ensure the alias is not already in use by another account or device.
   • Try creating a new alias to see if the issue is specific to a particular alias.
2. Verify the email address:
   • Double-check that the email address associated with the alias is correct and not blocked by your email provider.
   • Try sending an email to the alias from another email account to see if it's receiving emails.
3. Check Apple Mail settings:
   • Ensure that Apple Mail is set to use the correct email account and password.
   • Check the "Account" settings in Apple Mail to ensure the alias is listed as a valid email address.
4. Disable and re-enable the alias:
   • Try disabling the alias in your Apple ID settings and then re-enabling it.
   • This can sometimes resolve issues with the alias not working.
5. Check for conflicts with other email accounts:
   • If you have multiple email accounts set up in Apple Mail, try removing or disabling other accounts to see if the issue is related to a conflict.
6. Reset Apple Mail:
   • Try resetting Apple Mail by going to System Preferences > Mail > Reset > Reset Mailbox.
   • This will reset your email account settings and may resolve any issues with the alias.
7. Contact your email provider:
   • If none of the above steps resolve the issue, contact your email provider's support team to see if there are any issues on their end.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, please provide more details about your setup, such as:

• Your Apple ID and email provider
• The exact error message you're seeing (if any)
• The steps you've taken so far to troubleshoot the issue
