Why configure your iCloud inlbox after creating it?

Configuring your iCloud mailbox is a practical solution to access to all your emails, regardless of your supplier. Setting up your messaging also allows you to clean it more efficiently.

It is possible to configure after the creation of your account the access to your different mailboxes by importing all your contacts and emails, in order to better consult and store them.

Configuring your mailbox also allows you to synchronize your messages and folders on your devices. Therefore, an automatic update runs once you have modified the settings of your iCloud account.

Configure your mailbox for more security

Importing your contacts and emails in a single place enables you to better store and secure them. Furthermore, you can more closely follow your messages since they are all synchronized on your devices. It then becomes easier to sort your email and move them to adequate folders hence, optimizing your account’s management.

Moreover, it will be easier to filter your emails and identify the spam and newsletters that do not interest you anymore. So, you have the possibility to blacklist senders and stop receiving emails from them.

In order to increase the security of your iCloud inbox, you must receive the least number of undesirable emails possible. Thus, you should avoid sharing your iCloud email address on websites. Only subscribe to pertinent newsletters.

Additionally, you should give a secondary email address when looking for information. Also, prioritize the use of aliases on forums and discussion groups. Finally, you help increase the security of your mailbox by receiving less spams.

Configure your mailbox for more productivity

We have a tendency to consult a message as soon as it is received in order to determine its importance. This greatly affects our concentration and distracts us from our main tasks. By grouping the messages in a single mailbox, our spirit becomes peaceful and we become more efficient.

Also, consulting multiple mailboxes on different devices can quickly become boring and stressful. Configuring your mailbox is essential to access all your email and avoid wasting time with checking your different accounts.
