Email migration
Migrate your email from iCloud Mail
Connecting to iCloud Mail from outside needs an app-specific password, generated from your Apple Account. We take care of the rest.
Server settings
You don’t have to type these in — we work them out from your email address. They’re here for transparency, or in case your provider uses different values.

Good to know before you start
Apple requires an app-specific password, which you can only generate with two-factor authentication turned on for your Apple Account.
It works with @icloud.com, @me.com and @mac.com addresses. If you use a custom domain with iCloud+, enter that address — the server is the same.
Your email stays in iCloud: you can keep reading it on your iPhone until you’ve checked the new mailbox.
How it works
Enter your iCloud Mail address and password: we recognise the server and count your emails.
Tell us your new mailbox: we check we can sign in before asking for any payment.
Pay once and watch the copy live. Your iCloud Mail mailbox stays exactly as it is.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I generate an app-specific password?
In your Apple Account’s sign-in and security settings, under app-specific passwords. We show you the official link.
Are notes or contacts copied too?
No, only mail (emails, folders and attachments). iCloud notes and contacts don’t live in the mailbox.
Ready to move your email?
We check both mailboxes before you pay. Free up to 3 GB, then from $4.99.
