It seems my iCloud email address is shared by someone else. I am getting their emails, and hate to think they are getting mine. How can I check the exclusivity of the iCloud email address?

I am receiving email belonging to someone else. It appears that the iCloud email address I was allocated is used by someone else, and I hate to think my email is being received by them. What's the way to have Apple iCloud check and see that only one recipient gets an iCloud email address? Thanks, John

This is not a hacked account issue.  It seems that this a common issue for many... Apple Mail Engineers, Please Do Something!!!  With each iteration of Apple's cloud services, the domain changed. i.e., @mac.com, @me.com and now @icloud.com.  It seems Apple's original plan or thought was to let you own the account name across all domains. So, [email protected] will also have the option use the newer @me.com and @icloud.com accounts at the same time (why?).  With millions of devices being activated around the world, it seems some already established accounts like [email protected] were allowed to be activated as new accounts under [email protected] or [email protected] by other new iCloud users.  I'm having the same problem with my email account and my son's email account.  In both cases, the second user is based in Europe (we are in the USA).  I've set all my devices to strictly use the [email protected] account.  In iCloud settings, I see the option to also use the @me.com and @icloud.com addresses.  From time to time, I get  emails sent to the [email protected]  This is very nerve racking because you don't want to get caught with your pants down or feel that someone other than the NSA is watching your email traffic.  We can only hope Apple knows about this and has a way to differentiate accounts via another authentication key assigned to each of your devices.  Good luck guys.
