I am considering switching from google mail to iCloud and am curious about your opinions.
I know there will be a lot of accounts I would have to change my email in, but most of my important accounts already have email addresses from apples „hide my mail“ function, so I am willing to do that work. And for the rest an automatic email forwarding will do.
A few questions are already in my mind, maybe someone can answer them for me:
-
Will my 2TB iCloud be used for my emails? Or would I need an additional subscription?
-
Is it possible to migrate all my mails from gmail to iCloud without any third party tools?
-
And to everyone already using a iCloud email as primary mail account -> What are your experiences so far? Any problems?
I had never bothered with iCloud Mail before, but I started using it recently as a secondary mail account when they introduced custom domains.
It’s been fine so far, the service seems reliable, no spam problems, and it was easy to set up initially. I find the Apple Mail client good enough for my email needs so no issues with that, I can’t speak for how iCloud Mail works with other clients however.
It’s good enough that I may eventually switch to it as my primary email provider.
