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?

    What’s interesting is that Gmail acts the same way with google drive. I once had a woman who hadn’t received an email in over a year because she stuffed her gmail drive full of photos.

        You’re probably right about that. This inbox had more venereal diseases than an old west brothel. I wonder if it was outpacing this feature?

          I would rather not think about how much spam that email was getting if it was indeed outpacing Gmail’s auto delete 💀
