Custom domain separate email inbox?!?!

I don’t understand why your custom domain email is all delivered to your existing iCloud inbox. Is there any way of setting up your custom domain that’s purchased through cloud fare to deliver your email into a separate inbox or at least a separate iCloud email address inbox? Are we allowed to have more than one iCloud email address? The whole purpose of purchasing a custom domain for me was to have all of my work email go to an entirely separate inbox.

Greetings uzmaDVS,


If you would like email from a specific address to be routed to a specific inbox, you can set up a rule for use in Mail, by following the guidance found here:


Set up rules to filter email in Mail on iCloud.com - Apple Support


"Set up rules to filter email

  1. In Mail on iCloud.com, click the Settings button at the top of the Mailboxes list, then choose Preferences.
  2. Click Rules, then click “Add rule.”
  3. Below “If a message,” use the pop-up menu and text field to specify the type of messages you want to filter.
  4. Below Then, use the pop-up menus or fields to specify an action for the rule.
  5. Click Add.
  6. You can have up to 500 rules.

Important: If you apply rules to a folder and then delete the folder or change its name, make sure to update the rules for those folders accordingly. For example, you can’t forward messages to a deleted folder."


Take care.
