Is there any way to move folders from Mac Mail to iCloud to have access to all emails beyond Inbox, Sent, Trash, etc?
I have created a number of folders in Mac Mail that I would love to have access to while working on my iPad or iPhone while traveling. Is there a way to 'copy & move' these folders into the iCloud Mail system?
Thanks for any assistance out there.

I'm finding it easy, as described. BUT - it seems only the first 100 emails sync in each folder. Anyone know anything about such limits?
I'm also trying to do this, but I cannot find the ICloud folder that you all are speaking about. Can someone assist me with finding or opening this ICloud folder?
Hi AppleDT,
I'm using Mail on a Mac in OS Mavericks, and I couldn't see an iCloud folder either.
This procedure worked for me when I wanted to restore some accidentally deleted Sent messages that had already disappeared from the iCloud online trash by moving local copies from Outlook 2011 to iCloud via Mail (I happened to have local copies in Outlook 2011, where I made a folder for the required emails, dragged it to the desktop to make a .mbox exported file, then imported it into Mail using File > Import mailboxes > Files in mbox format).
To move messages from Mail on Mac (OS Mavericks) to iCloud:
1. In Mail on a Mac, select a message and choose Message > Move to [or Copy to] from the top menu bar, then select a destination from the drop down menu, such as Sent.
2. Click on the iCloud destination option that pops up beyond (to the right of) Sent. Mail will show a progress bar for uploading the message to iCloud, and after a minute, depending on file size, it should appear in the corresponding box on iCloud online mail (Sent, in this case), and will then auto load back to the Mail box (Sent, in this case). Dates should appear correctly on the messages, but their order may be a bit odd. It's not a perfect solution.
3. Select subsequent imported messages for the same destination and choose Message > Move [or Copy] Again to iCloud. Not too many at a time, or the upload might get stuck in a loop.
Hope this helps, if belatedly.
I have read these posts and still can't find the iCloud menu title in Mac Mail on the left menu bar of my new iMac Pro. You initially said you had the same problem. How did you "find" the folder? It is simply not there. Is there some way to make it show up?
I just posted a possible solution (it worked for me) over on this discussion:
iCloud mail folders aren't showing in Apple Mail
Hope that helps. I searched for hours for an answer and I think I found a repeatable solution.
