          No.



          Apple have absolutely no clue what your email password is. It has nothing to do with iCloud, or your Mac.

          You are simply using that email as your AppleID. An AppleID doesn't even actually have to be an email address at all, so long as there is a real email address associated with the ID, so you can be contacted/use 2FA etc.

            Your AppleID is in no way connected to your email account - it's simply a means to identify you. That would even apply if your email was someone@icloud.com
