Set up iCloud Mail on all your devices
After you create a primary iCloud Mail address, you can use iCloud Mail on iCloud.com and on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Windows device. For an overview of what you can do with iCloud, see Send and receive iCloud Mail on all your devices and keep Mail settings up to date. If you have an iCloud+ subscription, you can also set up a custom email domain to personalize iCloud Mail.
Note: Make sure you’re signed in to the same Apple Account on each device. If you’re not signed in to your Apple Account on a device, or the device has iCloud Mail turned off, you won’t be able to send or receive email from your iCloud Mail address on the device. If you have devices that have iCloud Drive turned off, your Mail settings won’t stay up to date on the device.
