After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
I have been using Gmail for years now. Is there really any benefit for switching to iCloud mail?
No problem.I have been on the fence post over this for a time.
It has been my experience that the problems associated with iCloud is not as bad as they may appear. iCloud has served me well.iCloud has it's problems
Okaybut the "All Mail" in Gmail is a pain. I finally cleaned it out, I do not want a storage of deleted emails on google servers.
Why do you have to check it daily? Can you not check it weekly, bi-weekly, etcetera. Is there an option to auto-delete your deleted messages after a certain amount of time?The problem now, I have to check daily, and clean out the "All Mail" folder, so it will not build up.
When you delete an email message in iCloud, that message is then transferred to the trash folder. It is a safeguard for people who may have inadvertently deleted a message they may still need. However, if you delete the message from the trash folder, it is gone for good.I am not sure if iCloud keeps deleted email.
I will look into this and get back with you.I wish you could turn off the "All Mail" feature of Gmail.
Yes, but you would have to be getting a truckload of email to reach 5 gigs.I am also concerned if there is a limit on your iCloud mail, and as stated, does it count against your free 5GB?
Now here this, now here this:
For true GMail deleting of emails for iOS, from your iOS device go to m.google.com/sync and then edit your delete options.
No. What happens is if both devices are on and you receive an email message, both devices will show the count badge, if enabled, and if you read the message on one device, the count badge will still show unread on the other device until you initiate the mail app on it. Once you initiate the mail app in that particular device, the message is synced to show that it has been read.For those who use iCloud I have a question. I use to use it but stopped when I learned I had to do double maintenance (if I read something on my device. It still shows as unread on my MacBook ) is this still the case?
if iCloud didn't serve my purpose to my liking, I would not hesitate to make my Gmail account my primary account.I'm looking for a new mail client. I currently use yahoo. Love it been using it for as long as I can remember but it's becoming unreliable from a safety/vulnerability stand point. I was going to consider gmail but if they are going to lose true push then there is no point in me moving to that cause I rarely get on my comp. to check my email. Maybe a handful of times a year. So push is a must have for me.
nw,
I have used this link before and today it's not giving me the options it did before for my iPhone nor my iPhone.
So if they're preparing to cut the cord on Exchange Sync for new users, then it's beginning to affect current users.
Anyone else?
Good Luck

You can access the settings options via m.google.com/sync/settings
