Migrating from Zoho Mail to iCloud+

I stopped using Zoho Mail last night after being a Zoho customer for nearly six years, and migrated to iCloud+ custom domain email. Zoho mail is affordable and had been providing me with a stable email hosting solution. I started with the free plan and the moved to paid subscription which only cost me ~15 canadian dollars.

Why I moved to iCloud+ custom domain email is that it’s basically free to me because I am subscribing to iCloud+. It saves me 15 bucks a year. I don’t recall if Zoho has a cap for the number of domain aliases, but iCloud+ custom domain does, limiting the number of domain aliases to Five Domains in my case (not sure if a higher iCloud+ plan gives more aliases, I am with 2TB plan). As for the email address aliases, I haven’t reached the cap yet.

I am not running a business, so some features by Zoho are not necessary. For the domains that exceed the maximum number of domain aliases, I used CloudFlare email routing to forward the emails automatically to my now iCloud emails (I have many email aliases for receiving different types of emails but I don’t use them all to send, thus forwarding is sufficient).

    I’m thinking of doing the same thing now that iOS 18.2 has mail sorting like Zoho does.

    What tool/process did you use to migrate your existing emails from your Zoho account to your iCloud one? Does Apple do it for you, or did you need to use a third party tool?

      I did it through a third party tool called MailJerry: https://www.mailjerry.com. If you don’t have as many emails as I do (60000+), I’d recommend you migrate by using the Mac’s Mail App (there is a limitation on export file size). As far as I know, Apple only does the migration for Yahoo emails!
      Glad to know you are using Zoho as well!

          How many emails/messages do you have in your Zoho account? If not many and you are using Mac, you can just export/import by using the Mail App.
          If you have a lot, I believe a third-party tool is worth trying.

            Thank you Pan for your revert. I exported emails from Zoho as a zip file and the imported them all as Apple mail using Mail app. All good now! Thank you!

            Welcome! Glad to hear. Note that Mac may need some time to sync all emails up!
