Use Custom Email Domain with iCloud Mail

When you subscribe to iCloud+, you can use a custom domain name that you already own to personalise your iCloud email address, or you can purchase a new domain.

If you subscribe to iCloud+, you can use a custom domain that you already own to send and receive emails from a personalised email address with iCloud Mail. Here's how it works:

• You can use up to five custom domains, with up to 10 personalised email addresses per domain.

• You can use your personalised email address in the Mail app on any device signed in to your Apple Account and with iCloud Mail turned on, and on icloud.com/mail. You can also use your personalised email address for Messages, FaceTime, Calendar, to sign in to your device and more.

• You can import existing email addresses in use with your custom domain, or you can create new personalised email addresses after setting up your domain with iCloud Mail.

• If you share iCloud+ with your Family Sharing group, you can share your custom domain with your Family Sharing group and allow them to create personalised addresses. In iOS 16 or later, you can also share your custom domain with people outside your family and allow them to create personalised addresses.*

• You can share your domain with up to five other people. If you add someone who’s not part of your Family Sharing group, they need to accept the invitation before they’re added to the domain.

• Each person you share your domain with can create up to 10 personalised email addresses on the custom email domain.

If you don't own a custom domain, you can purchase an email domain to use with iCloud Mail.

Add a custom email domain

To use a custom domain with iCloud Mail, you’ll need:

• An Apple Account with two-factor authentication turned on.

• iCloud Mail set up on your devices.

To add a personalised email address for a custom domain that you use with iCloud Mail:

• That email address can't already be used with a different Apple Account. If that email address is being used with a different Apple Account, you need to change that Apple Account email address.

• If you delete that different Apple Account, you still won't be able to add your personalised email address.

Remove a custom email domain

If you no longer want to use a custom domain that you set up for iCloud Mail, you can remove it. After you remove it, you won't be able to send or receive email from addresses at that domain in iCloud Mail.
