Hey.
I have an Apple ID i've used for many, many years at an email address on my own domain pointed to Fastmail. This is the Apple ID I'm using with my iCloud account. I've never bothered to setup an @icloud.com mailbox (though I understand you have to for the custom domains, as it's basically forwarding to that inbox)

I've heard some conflicting reports on this: would I be able to setup iCloud email on this address? The coupling between these email addresses and Apple IDs is very confusing and perhaps it's for the best that I stick with Fastmail as it's totally independent of any ecosystem but it's a bit excessive for me as I'm not that much of an email 'power user'.
