I keep getting messages from the hospital in town that are addressed to several other people with my last name and discussing their health records, doctor appointments, lab results, etc. They are coming to my mac.com address. I’ve complained to the hospital about the HIPAA violations and never hear a peep back. I’ve tried messaging the doctors’ offices to alert them. No response. Maybe they’re just entering the last name and tabbing to enter whatever name comes up, and maybe there’s something worse going on. I resent that *I’m* the one having to sort it out because I didn’t instigate any of it, and it’s been going on for about four YEARS. I’ve had this email addy since I got my first iMac in like 1990, and there’s already been another person allowed to use it (I keep getting class reunion news and furniture delivery notices… so I believe this one is truly Apple’s fault.)
Anyhoo, son suggests I shouldn’t be touching them at all and should just bounce them back… only it looks like the “bounce” function is no longer available in the Mail menu. (This was the thing that sent emails back to the sender with a message that there’s no email here to receive what they sent so they leave you alone.)
He did suggest looking at it in text edit, but then changed his mind because it didn’t seem worth the risk of triggering something.
Since Apple’s Mail app seems to be less useful than it used to be. I’m wondering what I should try. The only one I’ve seen lately is Proton, and I have no clue whether it’s worth looking into. Strictly a Mac user here—and I’m mostly asking because I stumbled into this thread and was so relieved to see a change of pace from the political hellscape.
