Using iCloud Custom Domain Email

If you use an iCloud+ custom domain email address such as [email protected], you need to add it as an IMAP account with specific settings.

To add an iCloud custom domain email:

1. Go to Daylite > Settings > Mail > Mail Accounts and select Add Mail Account.

2. Select Other IMAP from the list of account types.

3. Enter your custom domain email address, such as: [email protected]

4. Enter your app-specific password in the Password field. If you haven't created one, see Create an App-Specific Password above.

5. Click Next.

1. On the server settings screen, change both User Name fields to your Apple ID email address. The Email field at the top will display your custom domain email—do not change this. Both User Name fields will initially display your custom domain email. Change these to your Apple ID email address (the email ending in @icloud.com).

   For example: If the User Name fields show [email protected], change them to [email protected].

1. Click Next to finish adding your account.

Once added, your emails will send from your custom domain address.
