@iCloud.com Email Domain

Is this still a domain name available from Apple for an email account?


To obtain one, do you just sign up for Mail within your iCloud.com account?


What does it cost? How does it work? It is like a @gmail.com account?


I have an @att.net account and am concerned about security.

When you open an iCloud account (by signing in in System Preferences or Settings>iCloud) and enable Mail in the list there you will be asked to create an @icloud.com address. The text before the '@' can be anything you like which isn't already taken, though you should avoid unusual characters and ideally stick to plain letters and numbers.


This email account is part of your overall iCloud account, which is free at its basic storage level of 5GB. You can increase this by a paid subscription.

security is up to you.

If you are using the same login and password for other services and those services get hacked then whoever has that info only needs to try it somewhere else. Authentication also relies on two factor authentication where another device will tell you when your account is being accessed (often with the location nowhere near your physical location but that's because it's not using your physical location, it's using your providers servers locations)

Use a unique password for this service.


Furthermore Apple will never send you an email saying dear customer, or dear user@att.net. If they are not addressing you by your real name then the legitimacy of getting an email from Apple about your iCloud is likely fraud to keep an eye out for.
