iCloud and New BB Q10....

I use both an iPhone/iPad for personal tasks and a BlackBerry for my work that are all connected to my iCloud Account

I recently switch from the Bold to the new Q10 and there seems to be quite a few bugs.

One of the most annoying one with iCloud and the new Q10 is that they dont really synch well....

For exemple, a "sent mail" using the BB Q10 can't be found on my Mac "sent mail" files...which is really not practical at all...

It's weird as it's possible to synch all the files in iCloud but apparently does not work well...

Also the emails erased from the BB Q10 (from iCloud account) are not erased from the Mac which means we have to double the work and filing...

Any one else has these issues or managed to solve them..?

Thanks

Mac, Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Your information that Blackberry can be used with icloud is news to me. Your symptoms however are very familiar and show that you setup icloud on that blackberry as POP and you need to set it up as IMAP. How - no idea, but you seem to be capable of taking care of that.

Nop, it's well configured...

Can actually synch all files from iCloud except the "sent files"... That is a real mystery...

It used to work fine on the Bold...

Does it sync notes, calendars? If it does, thank you for very helpful info. As far as the folders that you mentioned, you really need to find out from someone who knows BB, if they can help you to set iCloud as IMAP mail.

Not sure about Notes and Calendars as I I synch those only with my iPhone (I use both) but read through BB forums that they do synch (after some bugs)

It also synch Contacts through iCloud

Don't think you have any option to change the iCloud settings...

Try to check settings to that article, if there is no way to set account as imap, you will not be able to fix that problem, pretty much stuck. Contacts are synced, at least on setup, pretty much with everything.
