Set up a custom email domain with iCloud Mail on iPad

When you subscribe to iCloud+, you can add up to five custom email domains and create email addresses for those domains on your iPad (iPadOS 15.4 or later). Then, you can send and receive mail in the Mail app on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac, in your Mail account on iCloud.com, and in the email app on a Windows computer.

To learn more, see Personalize iCloud Mail with a custom email domain and share with family in the iCloud User Guide.

Note: Make sure you’re signed in with the same Apple ID on each device. If you have devices where you’re not signed in with your Apple ID or that have the Mail feature turned off, you won’t be able to see your custom email domains and mail on those devices.

Add a custom email domain to iCloud Mail

You can add a custom email domain you already own to iCloud. If you already have email addresses at that domain, you can configure them during setup. If you don’t, you can create email addresses after you add the domain to iCloud.

Note: You need to have a primary iCloud Mail address before you can add a custom email domain on iPad. See Create a primary email address for iCloud Mail in the iCloud User Guide.

Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Mail, then make sure iCloud Mail is turned on.
Tap Custom Email Domain.
Follow the onscreen instructions, or tap Add Domain.
Follow the onscreen instructions to finish setting up your domain.
After you set up your domain, follow the onscreen instructions to log in to the registrar you purchased the domain from, then tap Connect to verify your domain. This usually takes a few minutes, but could take up to 24 hours.
Some registrars require you to change DNS records to set up your domain. See the Apple Support article Set up an existing domain with iCloud Mail.

Create and delete email addresses

After you add a custom domain name, you can easily create and delete email addresses for that domain.

Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Mail, then make sure iCloud Mail is turned on.
Tap Custom Email Domain, then tap the domain you want to make changes to.
Tap Manage Email Addresses, then do one of the following:
- Add a new email address: Tap Create Email Address, enter the new address, then tap Continue.
- Delete an email address: Swipe left on an email address, tap Delete, then tap Remove.

Remove a custom email domain

If you no longer want to use a custom email domain, you can remove it using your iPad. When you remove a custom email domain, you can’t send or receive email for any addresses at that domain in iCloud Mail.

Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Mail, then make sure iCloud Mail is turned on.
Tap Custom Email Domain, then tap Edit next to Your Domains.
Tap , then tap Delete.
If you’re moving your domain to a new provider, make sure to do the following:
- Go to your domain registrar to update the domain records to your new email provider and remove iCloud-related records.
- Set up any email addresses you want to continue using with your new provider.

Note: When you remove a custom email domain, you can still send and receive email from your primary @icloud.com address.
