I migrated my custom domain to icloud+. Seems to work but there are three problems/questions:

  1. Where are all my emails? I used IMAP so i thought that all the inboxes (of the 3 accounts) will besynchronized after the “redirection” to icloud+

  2. I imported three e-mails: Does icloud not seperate those three accounts? There is only one folder in Mail (on ipad and iphone)?

  3. How can i configure the icloud-account(s) in thunderbird?

Thanks for help

SOLUTIONS:

  1. To get your old mails in your new icloud-account, you can use the mail-app or thunderbird (i guess outlook too) and draw the mails in the new folders. I just draw the inboxes to the new icloud-account-folders and the other stuff to local folders. Good possibility to minimize. Have to see if it works.

  2. Workaround: Create folders and rules in icloud+, so that the mails will be sorted.

  3. You have to create an app-password that works in thunderbird or other 3rd party apps.

Thank you! This sublemmy is gold!

    Thanks! Although I’m using Android; and since I need aliases with mailbox.org anyway, presumably I have that covered with K-9. For MacOS I’m happy with the default Mail client anyhow; it’s nice enough to hold all my stuff that isn’t browser based.

    Their web client seemed kind of crappy, but usable at least, if I remember right. Not often I need to log in from a computer that I don’t own, but once in a while it comes in handy.
