Reading the comments in that link confirms my opinion of the average Apple customer!

I got mine set up. Only 3 alias' and no catch-all kind of stinks. I have tried copying a bunch of old emails to it as well and that isn't going smoothly. This is definitely a beta but honestly not sure this will be a daily driver solution for me even when it's out of beta. It is extremely limited and I am not sure how much they will improve it.

Also I no longer can see my custom domain addresses in the drop down menu when composing on the beta.icloud.com site. Works on my iphone in the mail app but not in the web based site. It shows my addresses in the account settings. I don't see any support options for this either. I may need to revisit this in a few weeks and go back to my other email provider.

I stopped at the domain verification because I was going to test it on a domain that I hadn't linked up to any MX records yet. What a strange verification procedure they had. I input an email address on the domain, any at all, and they send an email to that address to confirm it. That sounds like a recipe for domain ownership disputes later, unless that's fixed by further verification steps (which would make it odd to have that one first at all).
Should be interesting. |

It is already fixed. There is another step for domain verification when you update the dns settings.

Maybe I will redo this domain on icloud, forward any incoming emails to the old provider for now (so I can use the domain email addresses), and wait until this works? Thanks for the info.

I can't go to the page for managing the existing domain name. The page says I need to be icloud+ subscribed. but I am already an icloud+ user. so don't know why.
So I can't add/del the email accounts for custom domain. There is no entry for me. Do you have the same experience? |

I am not an iCloud user myself, but in helping several people that do use iCloud I have found that syncing, etc., frequently fails and for some reason you have to log out and relog into iCloud to get everything working properly. Also, make sure you are updated to the latest version of the operating system.
