Know what you mean. I'd only ever change if Gmail became so unreliable
that I can no longer trust it. I've been using Gmail for years and have
little to no problems. I do have an iCloud Mail account but only because
it's free as part of the iCloud service so checked it out and so could
use it in an emergency. However for me if it aint broke don't fix it.

Hi Robert and all. The reason why I stopped using Gmail is because it has
become unreliable. I've heard other people experience the same issues I was
facing, mainly messages not showing up in clients that I've configured the
account for a few weeks and after a few weeks they finally appear. Ever since I
made the switch to iCloud, I haven't looked back. I even configured Microsoft
Office in my Windows 7 VM to use iCloud email using the iCloud app you can
download for Windows. If I were you, I'd ditch Gmail altogether and go with
iCloud, but if you like Gmail then stick to what you prefer.

Please, this is not an invitation to go off on the Gmail issues.
I am not yet using the Mac for mail so am taking this time to research
options before I do the work.
I know some of you have switched from Gmail to iCloud. How well is it working
and was it difficult to make the switch and set things up with iCloud?
I use a Gmail IMAP account for email lists and currently running Thunderbird
in Windows. I have created rules and have had no problems with that at all. I
save the minimum number of emails, the rest get trashed weekly and would hazard
a guess that I probably have less than 1,000 emails. This account will not be
used on other devices, just the Mac. Have 2 other accounts for that and neither
are used for email lists so no rules necessary.
Am interested in feedback on how things are going with your iCloud accounts.
