There is no option to send a new email from previous created hide my email account? Any ideas? I know you can reply but you can’t seem to compose new emails. I wouldn’t have used Sign In with Apple if I knew before hand

I think this explains how to do it:
Use Hide My Email in Mail on Mac
In Mail on your Mac, Hide My Email allows you to send and receive email messages without having to share your real email address.
support.apple.com
I'm not sure that's really it, chabig. At least it doesn't solve the problem I'm having, which I think might be the same or similar as zombierunner is also having trouble with.
I can reply to an email that has been sent to a hide my email address. I can compose a new email to an address I've sent to before using hide my email.
The trouble comes when trying to compose a new email from a hide my email address I set up when creating a user account for something. I have no email to reply to and I haven't sent one before, so there appears to no way to do it, or I haven't found it at least.
Here's an example of something that just happened. I signed up to xyz.com by creating hidemyemail@icloud.com. I receive an email from a do not reply address giving me details including an email address for support. How can I compose an email to this address? I have no email to reply to, because it will go to the do not reply address (and it's greyed out and can't be edited). I haven't sent them an email before, so I appear to be stuck (aside from sending them an email from another address, which kind of defeats the object).
Any suggestions?

Interesting. The help document says, "Messages you send from a unique, random address can only be delivered to a single recipient." You're probably stuck.
I would suggest sending a normal email to support@xyz.com and explain in the message that your account username is <hidemyemailaddress>.

I was super frustrated at this also - you can create a disposable no problem, but can't use it to instigate a new email from it.
I think there was sort of loads of work arounds as mentioned above that doesn't quite hit the spot though.
I seem to remember from previous threads that while you can't do this on a mac/iOS device, you can do it via iCloud by logging in to the website, haven't done that yet so have no idea.
