Thinking about migrating from Google Mail to iCloud (lemmy.world)

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?

Thank you, that’s good to know! Do you know if there is a way to do that without a Mac? Is there like an option on the iCloud website to import mails from gmail?

I don't know, I've never used iCloud from the web… But you can follow the same process from iPhone or iPad

Hmm okay. So just to make sure I understand what you did… you copied every folder from one account to another using a mail program where both accounts were configured?
