[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1755967"] Ashwin, thanks but frankly I don't use ANYTHING of the Google family. It's bad enough to give away my email address, but giving the content to Google is not going to happen from my end. What's curious is that the Apple Mail product on my MBP works just fine for the alias, but not on the iOS version. In Mail on macOS, there is a specific location in the Account setting where you can put a return address that can be different from the login email address for the smtp server. There is also a place in the iOS version to allow that as well, but when you compose an email there isn't an option that then displays that address, or use it in the outgoing email. So Apple knows this is a function that people use, but for some reason it doesn't work in iOS. As for being an "outlier" on using pobox, they have sufficient numbers of customers to make it work financially, so I'm not that much an outlier. :) [/QUOTE]
