FML.

Does anyone have a good tool to extract emails from Google Apps? I literally only use Apps for custom domain email and a placeholder static website. It's certainly not worth $72 a year for it.

I saw that someone had posted that iCloud supports custom email domains so I suppose that's an option but now need to figure a way to migrate from Google to iCloud.

Found this: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212514

One can host 5 domains with 3 email addresses per domain on iCloud.

Imapsync maybe? I haven't personally used it, though I did previously buy it thinking it would download to local machine -- it transfers between accounts using IMAP which wasn't my intent but sounds like it is yours.

Thanks.

I realized that I was just reading about GMail backups a few days. Here are some repos that I happened to star on GH.

Thank you!

Found a review of iCloud's custom domain: https://medium.com/empty-coffee/three-months-with-apple-iclo...

TL; DR: Seems to work BUT may have issues with SPF/DKIM etc.

Looking for anyone else on HN to chime in with their experience using iCloud custom domains.

To get the emails over, run Google Takeout, which exports an mbox file, then import into Mail (on your Mac). Then gradually copy over emails from that local mail folder into your iCloud inbox (takes a wee while, but works).
