One question I would like to ask is about Mail and iCloud. When you send an e-mail using your @icloud.com or @me.com account a copy of the e-mail appears on all your devices you have selected to sync to. No problems with that.
But when you delete an e-mail on one device have can you make sure that the other copies on your other devices are deleted as well?
