Sue them under wiretapping laws to release the information and redirect the emails to a domain you control. It is a federal crime to interfere with communications. I'm considering suing Apple under the same laws for blocking messages sent from iPhones to my phone number (you can never truly deregister from iMessage. Apple still silently destroys group messages sent to you). We need to get more serious about the idea that you can't legally withhold correspondence meant for someone else. These tech companies think they're immune from telecom laws but I am not sure the courts would agree.

There was a class action about the bullshit Apple pulls with iMessage but I don't remember how it resolved.

    I know the steps, the class-action was because even after doing all that iMessage would still not properly deregister numbers, and then a memo was leaked revealing that Apple purposefully didn't solve the problem because it lead to people returning to iPhones after trying Android devices

As for group messages, are you sure that it is not that the iPhones are sending them to your Apple ID?

  There's no way to distinguish gush between the two in the UI. And I certainly don't receive the messages in the Messages app on my Mac.

That's interesting, I didn't realise there deregister function was incomplete.

You can't have a mixed group chat between iMessage and SMS. If one person leaves the iMessage ecosystem there's no way to update the group chat to include you. This is like saying "I was in an IRC channel with friends but I left for Slack and now I don't get their messages" Stop whinging.
