How to: set up iCloud Mail with a custom email domain
The iCloud beta allows iCloud+ subscribers to set up a custom email domain for iCloud Mail. In this walkthrough, I show you step-by-step how to add the necessary DNS records to your domain registrar to get iCloud email working with your very own custom domain. Please keep in mind that, at the moment, this is a beta feature. Your mileage may vary. Full tutorial: https://9to5mac.com/2021/09/07/how-to-set-up-an-icloud-mail-custom-email-domain-video/

This is what I have been looking for! Thanks Jeff!
I have namecheap and my settings are very different, I’m advanced DNS and don’t see those things, MX and TXT are in two different areas as well. Ughhhhh

What about your Apple ID which has to be a 3rd party email?
Can it be changed to this new custom domain email?
Potential dumb question – but do you have to purchase the email options when registering your domain, if you are only buying the domain to use for email through iCloud+?

Great video Jeff. What happens to all your existing emails on your custom domain? E.g. you move from Exchange to iCloud?
Timely, with Google’s new pricing for grandfathered accounts
So is not free okay then nvm
This video needs to be updated, apple has changed the instructions.
J’apprécie vraiment le gars de la technologie
merci de m’avoir parlé de lui il m’a enlevé le cadenas
can you sort your custom domain emails that come in with a different folder.
what happens to my previous mails if i move my custom mailadress to or from icloud mail?
Would doing this mess up the website I have the domain pointed to? I don’t want to change the settings and cause my website to go offline
Hi Jeff, great video! What should I do if I use a CDN (e.g., cloudfare) with my domain (e.g., google domain) that is hosted with a provider (e.g., bluehost)? How do I set up custom email on Apple Mail in that case?
Does anyone know if doing this to a current iCloud email address (one I’ve been using since 2014) affects things? As in, if I were to change it to have my custom domain at the end, would all my emails from 2014 to present still exist and would I still be able to send/receive from the same place? Also, I created my custom domain with Wix, so is the process any different to using Hover?

Does not work with google….gets stuck with SPF error messages. Its a mess and apple support has no clue what they’re doing with this…
Nice I really do like the way you present that I’ll probably follow you for a while here
Thank you for the Great tutorial video!!!
or Gsuite Legacy shuts down 🙂
Can i add this mailbox to outlook app?
More of less how I expected it to work, but I appreciate being able to see the process before I start it.
Okay you really need to update this video. I tried adding the new updated DNS records to hover and iCloud keeps saying "Check your SPF record". not to mention, Hover is not accepting the quotation marks Apple says to add to the record.
I laughed at Ducky Benjamin far more than I should have…

So if you have multiple domains and multiple emails…..they all go into the iCloud email? They are all mixed together? How do you tell them apart?

Let’s be clear. This is nothing but email. No calendar or contacts.
I’m using Google Domains, and for the txt section, it says the host name is already in use. any ideas on how to fix this?
I keep getting a “Check your MX record” error
