What do apple email addresses look like? I genuinely don't know anybody that uses an address that says to me "provided by Apple"...
I do know a lot of people that use their corporate/organisational addresses for personal email though, which always surprised me.
Edit: just read that "me.com" email addresses are apple-provided - I have at least seen them used occasionally, though nowhere near as much as gmail and hotmail/live.com (outlook).

- wizofaus 3y agoI couldn't recall ever noticing anyone use an icloud.com address as their primary personal email address, though searching through my inbox it has cropped up once or twice. Actually my sister did use one briefly in 2018.

- wizofaus 3y agoAre there any stats on how many people do that? It seems me the only way it could be true that Apple mail has far more users than outlook/live/hotmail is if the former tend to be associated with custom domains.
- mattl 3y agoApple mail the client has a lot more users than any Apple-offered mail.
- badwolf 3y agojust to muddy the waters a bit, I recently moved my personal domain to use iCloud as the mail provider, so you wouldn't see @me.com/@iCloud.com, but just my domain.
