Welp, I’m all in on iCloud email. Deleted the G-Suite account for my vanity domain. I changed the MX records about two or three weeks ago. I had about an hour of angst while the Time To Live for G-Suite expired, but mailflow begain immediately and I haven’t had any trouble.

@hjalm Congratulations! 🎈 I have a job before me…

@hjalm That’s awesome. I want to do that before my Hover email account expires. Do you know if Apple lets you put in a different email address if you get locked out of your account?

@mjdescy you can now do backup recovery account - someone you trust with an Apple ID.

@mjdescy you can also generate your Recovery Key (and keep it somewhere safe).

@mjdescy Short answer: Yes! Set up is through iCloud on the web, but account recovery is the same as for iCloud. I'm in the process of adding a recovery contact, but that appears to be only through iOS on my iPhone. Also, I have to update the OS on my AppleTV before it will let me? Anyway, yes.

@rom You answered, first! Didn't see your reply before adding mine

@odd Hardest part, which I put off the longest, was simply copying old email to a local archive. The set up at Apple couldn't have been much easier, and Google was very happy to immediately delete the G-Suite immediately. I did a small amount of review of email security settings—I did it once several years ago once Google supported it, but never again since.

@hjalm @hjalm Thanks for answering. 😀 I will check it out.

@hjalm all good! ;-)

@mjdescy @hjalm you guys might want to check out simplelogin.io as well - it is an affordable annual subscription. Am not affiliated, just a happy user. :) iCloud BYOD (domain) is great, but limited, though.

@hjalm 😊👍

@rom This is a very cool service. Thank you for mentioning it!

@hjalm Thanks for the update. I’m going to take the plunge soon

@pimoore Exactly how I feel as well. I’ve still got a year left on my Fastmail subscription so no rush for me to figure it out.
