One thing that people are surprised by when I tell them is;

Apple iCloud+ will let you have up to five custom domains, with up to three personalised email addresses per domain for just 0.79p (UK)

If you are just looking for email, that's shockingly good value. You do get iCloud Docs with that too, but that product offering is a bit naff and iOS/iPadOS/macOS only.

If you are using Apple products, it's very good value for money.

Or just buy some used iPhone for pennies, and you are good to go. Works from Outlook, Browser, Apple Mail, other email software, etc.

I’m on iCloud+ too with customized email domain setup for each of my family.

On Linux I would just go to icloud.com to access my Apple email, notes, etc. I wish there was an easier solution but iCloud access on Linux sucks.

I can understand the point about Notes being accessible only from a browser, but why isn’t IMAP an option to access email on Linux?

Thunderbird has a severe syncing issue with iCloud email. I missed several emails because of this issue.

I migrated from Google Workspace when Apple added custom domain support. The email migration itself was simple — I used `imapsync` and followed the instructions below. It's been several months since the move, and I can report that it all "just works".
