Hi, The Status area is listed just after the "Enable this Account" checkbox. At least in my Mail Prefs. So, when moving with VO-right going from the list of accounts, then the three tabs for Account Info, MailBox Behaviours etc, then Enable this Account, then the heading for Status, which should be followed with On-Line and Available. Continuing right, there should be the Description and its accompanying field then eMail with the pop-up of aliases.
I just remembered that you're in El Capitan and I'm in Sierra, so it's possible that the Mail Prefs have a slightly different look. I can't remember for sure. If you wish, I can locate an El Capitan machine to confirm and see if the comparable layout in El Capitan. Later...

I have again gone to system preferences then iCloud and turned email off. I then exited system preferences and waited for a couple of hours before returning to system preferences and iCloud and turning Email back on. that fixed the problem and both iCloud email addresses are now working OK for both receiving and sending. However can you please clarify the below question on how to access the status area using VoiceOver. many thanks….. Paul Hopewell ———————————— you say the following for the account information for the iCloud mail box in the mail preferences accounts tab.... 1. Make sure "Enable this Account" is checked. 2. In the Status area, does it read On-Line and Available? 3. Under the eMail pop-up, does it have all your aliases listed? I am not clear on what you mean by the status area. Using VoiceOver how do I access the status area? When you mention the Email pop up do you mean the alias pop up? If so this pop up does indeed show all 2 of my aliases. I tried turning off Email in iCloud preferences under system preferences and then re-enabling it. that did not help. Best regards….
