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!

    For migrating your best bet is probably Thunderbird or Outlook, whatever you prefer. Use that app to export a copy of your mailbox from the old mail servers, then import all of those into your single icloud mailbox using the same application.

    I’ve never migrated mail into an icloud mailbox though so there may be some hiccups there that I’m not aware of.
