Thinking about migrating from Google Mail to iCloud - eviltoast

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?

    My main email is @me.com but sometimes I’ll use @icloud.com too. It’s handy for websites I want two accounts for as on my end they’re both treated as one email account but on their end I’m two separate people.

    I used to have @mac.com too but I lost access to that some time ago and I don’t use what I had in front of the @ anymore anyways.
