I've successfully added two custom domains and a few email addresses associated with them. Currently, emails end up in my main iCloud inbox which is what I thought might happen.
What is the best approach to set up separate "mailboxes" for each email so that incoming mail all doesn't pool in the same place and I could have separate inbox/sent/trash, etc for each?
Hello chris-c-thomas,
One thing you could do would be to set up a rule for each of these addresses to have the incoming emails routed to a particular folder.
These steps from Use rules to manage emails you receive in Mail on Mac - Apple Support explain how to create mail rules:
1. In the Mail appon your Mac, choose Mail > Settings, then click Rules.
To review an example of a rule, select a provided rule, then click Edit. To close the rule, click Cancel.
2. Click Add Rule, then type a name for the rule.
3. Indicate whether any or all of the conditions must be true for the rule to be applied to a message.
4. Specify the conditions.
To use different header fields in conditions, choose “Edit header list” from the bottom of the first pop-up menu. To add your own header, click the Add buttonin the Message Headers window.
5. Choose actions to perform on messages that meet the conditions. To specify multiple actions, click the Add button.
You can use AppleScript scripts as rule actions.
6. When you’re done, click OK, then decide to apply rules to existing messages already in mailboxes or to new messages.
You can apply rules to existing messages later by choosing Message > Apply Rules.
This should allow the emails to be sorted as they are received.
Have a good day.
