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 started using iCloud email nice I found out that we can setup custom email addresses. Oddly enough, I’m using google domains still so not too far out of the Google ecosystem just yet.

    As for the experience, gmail does a better job at finding spam. Sometimes iCloud mail will mark it as junk but it’s not too big of an issue.
