#2Valid points, but considering the price of this service, it leaves me with little complaints.

#3Great resumé. With luck Apple will address these: I’ve been curious about moving my domains from Google and Apple seemed like a good choice for me, but these would be show-stoppers for me as well.

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback, glad I was able to provide some relevant insight.
I'm hoping shining a light on these pain points turns some heads at Apple so we end up with a better service and one more good competitor in the hosted email space -- if you don't mind it being Apple, of course. :-)

#5If it's just for custom domain and email, then Infomaniak is yet another choice, on a price to features, unlimited storage (for email) and hosting country (privacy concerns with Apple and US, anyone?!?) ratio solution. I have recently moved my custom domain hosting from a more expensive service, to Infomaniak, and I got the first email address for free (the main from my Google workspace), to which I may add some more, if all works as expected, in the next month or so.

#6I would say another main issue is that while they ask you to setup DKIM records, they do not actually DKIM-sign your emails. Hence your mails may be more easily flagged as spam. Several people have reported this to Apple, but AFAIK it still hasn’t been fixed.

#7No mention of the 3 existing email address limit per user on this article makes me sad...

#8iCloud+ seemed like a great value proposition for people migrating from Workspace, but there are quite a few hangups. Seems like Microsoft hits a good middle ground.
Completely off topic, but why do people think having a sticky header indicating how far "through" an article is, is worth disrupting the content for?

Valid point -- sorry the header is getting in your way. Out of the available theme for Ghost I found this one taking away the least from the actual content - I'll look into getting rid of the header bar as traffic subdues not to break anything now :-)
Microsoft does hit a great middle ground -- but there's still far too little players IMO. Would enjoy if we also had Apple as a contender -- especially if they'll remain as big on their service businesses as they claim.

That's what stopped me from using iCloud+ for the family email domain. It was the easy winner except for that.
