I replaced a few key Google server-side filters with iCloud mail rules set in at (I didn’t even know iCloud had server-side filters - very limited compared to Google’s, but sufficient).įor filing mail, it’s still IMAP so there’s really no difference.

I do all mail searching client-side in Apple Mail on Mac or iOS, and can’t tell the difference. My email experience is essentially unchanged. I hope something in there is useful to someone switching or contemplating the switch. I also set the default address at / Mail / (gear icon) / Preferences. This (under Settings / / iCloud / (scroll to bottom)) did not appear to change at first, but it was correct after I closed and reopened that section. With my SPF entry correct, it took an hour or two before the SPF error went away and iCloud custom domain was officially up and running.Īpple Mail on iOS has a setting to set your default FROM address, which I now needed to be one with the custom domain. By the way, the SPF values given by iCloud via email and via web had different numbers of quotation marks around them, and I ended up using none, but that may depend on your DNS provider. This may be a reason for you not to use iCloud custom domain, but it’s an acceptable tradeoff to me.Īfter switching my DNS entries over to iCloud as directed, there was an error when I clicked Finish Setup that my SPF entry was not valid. This means, I believe, that I will never be able to use the original email addresses for my Apple IDs as long as the domain is an iCloud custom domain, and will have to maintain non-iCloud email accounts for each. That allowed the addresses at the custom domain to be added to my iCloud custom domain. Since you can change (, ) Apple IDs, I changed them to other email addresses not under my custom domain. I even got a EULA dialog the first time I signed into with it.

So, I “recovered” the password as if it were an Apple ID, and that worked! Now I had a real Apple ID under my domain (actually 3 of them). But I persisted, which led down this interesting rabbit hole:ĭeleting the alias from the Apple ID did not change the error trying to use that address, which still claimed it was an Apple ID. I reported the alias problem to a helpful Apple Support tech, and the answer was there was no solution for having that alias. These were reported when I tried to assign the addresses to my iCloud custom domain (including the alias, altough it is reported as an Apple ID itself). I had two Apple IDs using my custom domain, and another, iCloud-named Apple ID had an alias that was on that domain.

If necessary, I can download every Google Drive file individually. Apparently the data has been exported but I can’t get to it. What I should have done is gone in a day or two before doing the switch and setting the TTL of all the existing Google MX records to 5 minutes or so (they’re usually expressed in seconds).Īfter running Google Takeout, the link in the email for downloading goes to a “not found” page at Google Cloud. That means that entering new records (regardless of where you are moving your email) would bounce your email for a day (roughly).

Per Google’s recommendation, they had been set to 86400, a full day. I forgot to check the TTL (time to live) on my Google mail MX records at my DNS service. I’m still on the 50GB iCloud storage plan, so it cost me nothing. All the IMAP server-stored mail was transferred to iCloud mail accounts via Apple Mail on Mac. I now have my custom domain working, such that I can send and receive email under it via iCloud mail and my Apple mail client apps. I completed switching to iCloud Custom domain from my legacy G Suite accounts for my family email. Sure takes a bit of work but I’m saving $47 a month. So in my limited use case it is working fine and I still have two other domains that I need to set up for my parents and they will use the same method. I’m a one-man show and these are the emails or just really sorting anyway but yeah if you have wonder mean and six people you’re basically SOL as these emails now I’m not really separate email addresses / IMAP servers they are just thrown into one email box.

Actually quite nice not getting an indication every time Amazon says that I made an order! Of course for certain things I can set up VIPs etc.

Of course the one in box thing is a bit of a mess - I’ve set up mail filtering and for me it’s actually quite nice as only my main email, my personal email, will trigger a new emails alert and the other ones just go into the other folders I set up automatically which is fine as my personal email is the most important on. For recap I had four separate emails from wonder mean which now go into one inbox. Okay my report back on iCloud mail for domains – been 28 days now seems to work flawlessly on my devices iMac, MacBook and iOS.
