iCloud email reliability
I know a few years ago iCloud email had quite a bad reputation for legitimate emails not being received (particularly newsletters etc) and just disappearing into a black hole never to be seen again.
If anyone here uses it, has this situation improved or is the service still as unreliable as it used to be ? |

I am guessing Apple don't make much (if any) revenue from mail and is therefore a non-priority to fix. Apple are well aware of the problems that have been going on for years, you only have to look at the Apple Community pages to see the number of unhappy users of mail always complaining about disappearing messages. Given the problems still appear to exist I won't bother using it, even for non-essential email. |
On the other hand, I know lots of ordinary people that use Apple Mail for everything and I have never heard them complain about lost emails. I have no doubt there is some spam alogorithm that is blocking some legitimate emails, but it is really hard to know how big the problem is or what the reasoning is behind the algorithm. Legitimate domains and IPs get blocked by major spam filters for unknown reasons all the time. I used to work with an email service provider and we had someone working fulltime dealing with blocked IPs, domains, email addresses, etc. In many many cases no obvious reason for the block was ever found. The blockers often refuse to provide any information on what is going on, but I suspect even they don't know in some cases.

There's more information on the forthcoming iOS 15 and iCloud+ changes here: https://www.apple.com/ios/ios-15-preview/features/
Custom email domain Personalize your iCloud Mail address with a custom domain name, and invite family members to use the same domain with their iCloud Mail accounts. Mail Privacy Protection Mail Privacy Protection helps protect your privacy by preventing email senders from learning information about your Mail activity. If you choose to turn it on, it hides your IP address so senders can’t link it to your other online activity or determine your location. And it prevents senders from seeing if you’ve opened their email. |

At the end, everything is going to Google only. |

Not reliable and everything about it is bare bones glitchy. I am Apple everything except for that sad excuse for email. I would switch in a second if it worked well.
