I’m wanting to bring my hosted email across to iCloud+ since there’s no need to pay for a service I already get with iCloud+, but the AppleID used is not an @icloud.com one,

1.) Can you use a custom domain without creating an @icloud.com address?

2.) If you have to create an @icloud.com address for this process, does this change your AppleID to the @icloud.com email address created?

I just want to move my hosted email to iCloud without changes to my AppleID. Any help appreciated.

1. I think you have to create @icloud.com address
2. You can still login with the other email you used before

Thanks for confirming the creation of an @icloud.com email address. Do you know if it changes the Apple ID itself though? Even if you can login with your old @custom.com email address?

Just checked and it shows my old email as the Apple ID email
