I currently have a Dot Mac email account that I have retrieved from MobileMe by my GMail account. If I move my Dot Mac address to iCloud, what settings will need to be changed in my GMail account?
Log into iCloud.com. Go to Mail. Click on the Setting gear in the upper right hand corner. Click preferences. Ckeck Forwarding and add you Gmail address.
I'm assuming you mean log in using Safari on my iPad or iPhone running iOS 5? When I tried to log in using Firefox or Safari on my iMac G5 ALS, iCloud rejected it. I can see requiring Lion for the document sharing, iCloud backup, etc. but to just access it for webmail via a web browser, any web browser should be allowed, not just Safari 5.1.
No. I mean from your iMac. That's how I set mine up.
As I stated before it is not possible to access iCloud from my iMac; only from my iPad (and eventually from my iPhone).
When I set up GMail to retrieve my mail from MobileMe, I did it from within GMail's Settings>Accounts>Get mail from other accounts section.
Sorry Romad, I didn't realize iCloud on the Mac was Lion only. I agree it ridiculous. Maybe you can set it up on GMail.
Does iCloud still use the mail.me.com server or is it now mail.icloud.com?
I've gone to www.icloud.com using Safari on my iPad and my iPhone, but then I hit a wall because I'm not ready to transfer my mac.com & me.com email addresses over to iCloud yet. I paid $99 for MobileMe and I can't see throwing that away this early.
Hopefully there will be a "Take Control of iCloud" released in the next few months. Also, since Apple is now investigating ways to allow merging of Apple IDs, I'd like to wait until they announce what they determine will be required.
As for using a desktop computer to access iCloud webmail, I'll have to find the cheapest used Mac that can run Lion and then just use it for those rare times I absolutely have to access it that way. Most of the time that Mac will be completely off and disconnected. I absolutely abhor Lion; it is the worst version since Cheetah.
