Well, unless you’re willing to pay for a business Office 365 license, it won’t happen on Outlook anymore. Outlook only supported Godaddy, of all registrars, anyway, but now next in November they will remove custom domain support altogether.
I’ve now migrated to iCloud, which supports any registrar (certainly not what I expected from Apple), and supports some registrars like Cloudflare automatically.
- 8fingerlouie 3y agoHow is iCloud working out for you ? I've been thinking about moving our mails there. Not because i'm unhappy with mxroute, but because it's "one more service", and everybody in the household already uses iCloud. I'm not too worried about "vendor lock-in" as i have the "exit strategy" already in the form of backups and custom mail domain, so it simply comes down to ease of use.
- sebazzz 3y agoWell I only had it so I could have the family's devices backupped (excluding Photos because those I backup on OneDrive). But it turned out e-mail, including wildcard-catch-all, is included in iCloud+. It works well, and I use it through the IMAP protocol.
- crossroadsguy 3y agoiCloud limits the number of aliases you can use and it's impossible to reply from those "catch-all" email addresses you create. So iCloud falls short of that. Also not only there's a payment thing that needs to keep going on (which is with any provider really) but you also have to essentially be on Apple ecosystem. But this can also be excused - at least there is no real lock in here. But lack of ability to reply from custom catch-call addresses is the real bummer.
