It depends mostly on the demographic in my experience. For example, my parents have icloud email addresses that they occasionally email me from and never reply to for the reasons mentioned in this post.


My anecdote is similar. I first created my Apple account when the iTunes music store was introduced in 2003.

But, when I setup the account for my mom and my wife, I just created an iCloud email address.

My wife never uses her iCloud email address. I don’t think she uses the default mail client - she uses the gmail app.


Then switch off the Mail option in iCloud settings on their devices. Poof, mailbox disappears.
