Replaced by iCloud later. So it’s not something they will do, but something they have been doing for over two decades.

mac.com before MobileMe, still have my @mac.com ;)

With iCloud Plus you're able to add custom email domains (really nice and tight integration with Cloudflare DNS for all the MX records) -- was a breeze to set up. Haven't put it through it's paces yet, though.

Weirdly, you can only have three email addresses per domain. So you can't really use it for a typical family domain, even though it supports the family group (which can be six people).

The other users in your family group will be able to add 3 addresses of their own; the 3 you see are just the email address for your root@yourdomain.com account. User1 will have their own set of 3; login to iCloud.com from one of the family accounts and you'll see.

Everyone gets 3 each.

More importantly you can create unlimited throwaway vendor / site reg emails you can receive to and send from with Hide My Email.

I migrated my personal email from Google Workspace to iCloud+ a few months ago, and it worked great. No complaints so far.

This guide to using imapsync was invaluable: https://blah.cloud/miscellaneous/migrating-google-workspaces...

Just be sure to check your spam box more often than you used to. iCloud mail's spam filtering is very aggressive

It's frustrating, because this likely won't be usable on Desktop, Windows, or the majority of workspaces. I actually don't mind the Reminders app, but like iMessage, I can't use it on my main Windows desktop, so I don't.

I can count on one hand the amount of times I've FaceTimed someone because of fragmentation in my network with Android.

You can use Reminders in the browser.

Yes, but not all the features of it; if you're using the most recent "upgraded" Reminders, all you can do on web is create new tasks and add notes. You can't:

  - Add or edit lists
  - Add reminders or due dates
  - Add tagging or priority
  - Add things like location-based reminders

Just crappy all around.

FaceTime supports joining from the web

Teams. Apple is going to start offering Teams.
