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 moved away from gmail some years ago (to protonmail). I’ve moved most accounts but kept my gmail account and forward all gmail emails. In this case I receive those emails where someone has my gmail address or those accounts I’ve forgot.
That’s exactly what I am thinking about doing (but with iCloud). Moving the important stuff over and configure forwarding directly in gmail for all the forgotten and unnecessary stuff.
