It's Apple-ecosystem specific but here is my method.
I use the iCloud custom domain feature included in iCloud+ (which I pay for anyway): support.apple.com/guide/iclou….
In that case, all the custom domain emails are linked to your iCloud email account. You can receive and send emails from each of them.
I use the default Apple Mail app for mail, which connects my new email as soon as I create it via custom domain iCloud UI.
It's not ideal, but it's the easiest setup I could find, and it's free. Adding new domains is also reasonably straightforward. I use Cloudflare as a register and NS of all my domains, so I just add the MX records that Apple gave me.
Their Mail app is very basic, for sure. But also, it's a bit refreshing sometimes not to have all those fancy features, haha.
If you are really willing to spend some time, it can indeed be customized quite well, especially with Apple Script.
You can probably receive emails for a custom domain in any other email client. However, I'm not sure about sending them; it depends on the client and whether it has iCloud mail integration.
Last q, do emails all end up in the same "Inbox" in the Apple Mail client (ie. your iCloud account one)?
Or are you able to have multiple inboxes, like one per email?

I did not think about this -- I pay for iCloud as well 😅. Kind of hate their mail app, but probably because I have not configured it properly.

Hey Dmitrii, does Apple iCloud allows you to add multiple different email custom domains under a single iCloud account?
Correct. The number of emails per domain is unlimited, AFAIK. All the domains and emails are connected to your primary iCloud account.
You can also create unlimited iCloud aliases on the icloud.com domain.
Excellent!

No, unfortunately, it's all inside one iCloud "Inbox."
I use "Rules" to put different-colored Flags for some. There are more possibilities, but I found it enough for me.
Gotcha, might be the only limitation for me. Thanks a lot for your answers man
