I'm feeling like a real idiot right now. I've moved my personal email accounts from my ISP to Apple using the new service in iCloud+ but can't figure out how to configure the Apple mail application to connect to them. Previously the hostname was mail.mydomain.net. What should it be now?

Hi smoketx,
Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today setting up your email with the custom email domain for iCloud Mail.
It sounds like you have followed this page of the iCloud User Guide: Set up a custom email domain for iCloud Mail on all your devices.
Please note:
"After you add a custom email domain to iCloud, you can send and receive email on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, and Windows computer when you turn on iCloud Mail in iCloud settings. You can also access your mail on iCloud.com."
Next you'd follow: Set up iCloud for Mail on all your devices.
"Set up iCloud for Mail on your Mac
> System Preferences, click Apple ID, then click iCloud.To view your iCloud Mail, open the Mail app. Click a mailbox or folder in the iCloud section.
For more information on how to use Mail on your Mac, see the Mail User Guide for Mac."
Have a fantastic day!

Thanks. What is not clear from the instructions is that now all the addresses will come in to the iCloud mail inbox. I'm used to having separate inboxes for each address and having to set up individual IMAP or POP connections for them. I realize I can set up unique mail boxes and move them the mail to each via rules which I probably will do.
Connect to an email account that is using my domain name that I've moved to Apple
