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?

If you are already paying for iCloud+, you might want to invest in your own domain and set up “Custom Email Domain”. That way if you decided to make another move in the future you won’t have to change your e-mail address. I recently switch from Google Apps to iCloud for e-mail, and didn’t have to inform anyone.
I’ve been using it since the @me.com days. No problems
My main email is @me.com but sometimes I’ll use @icloud.com too. It’s handy for websites I want two accounts for as on my end they’re both treated as one email account but on their end I’m two separate people.
I used to have @mac.com too but I lost access to that some time ago and I don’t use what I had in front of the @ anymore anyways.
Ah yes. MobileMe. Such a terrible name for something that was out of apple naming. Something like iD. Would’ve been better.
