Is it safe to use iCloud mail as login for AppleID? I created my apple account originally with gmail, but I’m slowly transitioning out of the google mail and am considering changing my Apple ID as well. But given that the mail is part of the account, is it safe to use it? Are there any guides how to best secure account while using icloud mail? Having a different mail as backup for recover? Something more?

    If you have iCloud+, I highly recommend buying your own domain (depends on the exact domain, but a lot of TLDs are around the price of iCloud 50GB) and set up iCloud Mail to work on that custom domain (this is a feature included with iCloud+). That way you’re under control of your mail address should you ever want to switch away from iCloud, and don’t have to update your address anywhere ever again.
