One of my favourite features with iCloud mail is generating new email addresses for each service, in a very integrated straight forward manner
Before iCould I used to to this manually with my own mail
In the first iteration I had a catch all address, so I could invent any new email address and it would arrive to me. This was plagued by spam because any conceivable user @ my domain would be delivered to me.
In the second iteration I manually created aliases in the config file for my mail server when signing up for new things. This was additional overhead and annoying.
iCloud thanks to the integration into Safari and apps is so smooth with this. I just click the “hide my email” button and it generates a new unique email for the place I am filling in an email address.
This isn’t a feature of iCloud mail - Apple will do this no matter who your provider is. They create an address and then just forward emails for it to your real address.
