r/iCloud on Reddit: iCloud Custom Domain Email

January 15, 2025 -

Wow, somehow have not known about this feature until now.

I am strongly thinking of leaving GoDaddy as my provider (me and my family, 2 custom domains) due to expense, especially since they've switched to MS365 exchange email. It is always a hassle when something changes, and I have to re-verify with MS on each device over and over again. I don't need a business-capable email provider, so I think this will be streamlined as my family and I all are on Apple devices. Any thoughts or experiences out there? I've read a couple of older posts that had problems with MX records during setup.

I did this recently and it works well

So it won’t bring over your email history or folders. Only new emails would be routed to your iCloud email account once the MX records are updated. Best way to move your emails is to download them all to the Apple Mailbox (you can export/import ad MBOX files) and then manually copy/paste each folder from your import to iCloud. Alternatively, what I did was a single MBOX file export of all emails and the I pasted those into the iCloud email archive folder so that if I’m desperate I can find my old emails. So far the migration has been pretty flawless! I moved 47k old emails.

December 31, 2022 - I had to stop using it because everything goes into your inbox. You cannot segregate your email, this is far from ideal for my situation, so I wound up using an email provider instead with my custom domain. Until there is a solution for this, I would not do it. ... iCloud filters not suit your needs for this?

Thoughts on Custom Domains in Apple’s iCloud Mail

August 3, 2023 - While the service was rock solid, the features limited me to one domain and didn’t allow for creating alias addresses. I did love the security and privacy features, though, such as masking image URLs and scanning and proxying links within emails to prevent phishing. In late August, Apple released the custom domain feature in the beta version of iCloud.com.

I know this is not selfhosting, but I randomly replied about this a couple of weeks ago on a yet another email hosting post and today got my 4th DM asking about it.

iCloud+ (which is when you pay for iOS backup) includes custom domain hosting. I had no idea too. There are no hacks or undocumented stuff involved. I’ve been paying for the 50GB storage option because it’s only $1 a month and makes switching between iOS devices so easy and convenient. I have also been paying for mailbox.org for years. This year mailbox.org raised their prices from $1 to $3 a month and included a bunch of additional online meeting, docs, etc services that I have no use for. While I understand the need to keep up with inflation and everything, I’m a very light email user. I have maybe 700MBs in total in my email account, and send maybe a dozen emails a month. I started shopping around for a mailbox alternative when I learned that I could already cover this with my iCloud+ subscription (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201238) and my mind was blown.

I used to use fastmail before mailbox.org, and the process for updating DNS was always straightforward, but manual. You just go through their docs, copy/paste a couple of stuff, and you’re good. iCloud honestly took it to another level for me. It asked if I want an automated setup, I said sure, it asked for my domain, figured out it was from cloudflare, poped up a cloudflare SSO I’ve never seen before, then proposed a bunch of changes to my DNS records that I approved, and everything was done.

Anyway, just thought I’d post about this here in case anyone was interested. I searched this sub for iCloud, and didn’t find a similar post so excuse me if it’s a duplicate.
