I don't want to use Gmail for business Emailing because it snoops on your Emails. Can I use iCloud for business Emails?
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
I don't see why not; they do have parameters/maximum sizes (like most email providers do):
Mailbox size and message sending limits in iCloud - Apple Support
Thanks you the reply! Sorry, I didn't mean what size of the Emails can I send, I mean't does Apple 'allow' you to use iCloud Mail as a business Email. That's all I need, Thank you!
I have not heard of a limitation (except for size) - iCloud is an just a web based email provider.
You could use it, how ever if privacy is one of your main concerns there are services like Hush mail that offer privacy mail to companies and business
You see, my Mac os running OS X Mavericks; I've read it's Terms of Use/Terms of Service here: http://www.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/OSX109.pdf It turns out Apple doesn't snoop on any of your data; except your location, and other data you 'choose' to send to Apple... you know the Diagnostics and Data 'thing'.
So, okay, I'll use iCloud Mail as my business and personal Email?
It's up to you. If you are not working for a military/security/banking company (in which any case they would give you the email), iCloud email should suffice.
Every email is "read" in some fashion while traveling from your machine to another. That's how items can be marked as junk or spam before you even open them.
Your ISP is more likely to snoop than Apple.
Certainly you can use your iCloud email for your business: but the service is not positioned as a business service and has no guaranteed uptime and very limited support. Furthermore you are showing your clients that you are using a free domestic service, which I wouldn't have thought was a recommendation. A properly hosted business service, with a guaranteed uptime and good telephone support, and using your own domain for the address (domains aren't at all expensive) would seem worth considering.
Thanks for the reply everyone! I made my decision; I'm going to use Apple Mail as a business and personal Email. For the business I'll add a forwarding Email, for personal, I'll just keep it how it is. Thank you!
Do you have a website for you business? If you do you can have the provider setup email service with your domain name as the email provider. In other words if you business website is AbrahamGrit.com the email address can be XXXXX@AbrahamGrit.com.
I'm going to have a website soon. And yes, that's what I want to do with iCloud Mail: 'Abe @ AbeGirt .com'. But how to you do it? Please help, Thank you!
Spend some money and some time learning.
You're right!
Okay, all I'm saying is I'm going to use iCloud Mail, as a business and personal Email account. End topic?
You do it at the server if they offer email. Contact customer support for the hosting service.
