Why does Mail app contact iCloud when sending a non-iCloud email?
3 hours ago
- The author only uses iCloud for testing app sync features, not for email.
- Mail app triggers iCloud connections when sending emails from non-iCloud accounts.
- The cloudd and nsurlsessiond processes attempt to connect to gateway.icloud.com.
- Certificate pinning prevents analysis of the iCloud connections.
- The author creates Little Snitch rules to block these connections.
