On my quest to self-host* more and more things, I discovered today that Apple has a custom email domain service with iCloud+. I get this as a part of my Apple One subscription, and I might try it with the domain I got to go with Azure last year.
I like Gmail just fine, but I don't want to run into a situation where my primary email gets locked/compromised/becomes unavailable for some reason and then I have no recourse. It's not like Google has phone support!
*I'm using the term self-host loosely here since it would be quite a hassle to run your own actual email server. I value my time/sanity and it's not worth running my own, so I have no issue paying someone to do that for me.
There is of course a trade-off here, but I also trust Apple's security/IP reputation/iCloud/etc.
