How do I use rules with iCloud?

Question

iCloud syncs between my iMac, mt Macbook Air, and iPhone and an iPad.   I set up a rule (on the iMac) to reject a certain sender's (abusive) emails (move the message to junk and automatically send a response saying this address chooses not to accept message from this address).  I thought it was working until I got a message (on the iMac) from this sender's normal email address (which should have activated rule and forwarded it to junk mail).  The rule is still checked and supposedly active.
1.  Anybody know why the rule is not working properly?
2.  When I initiated the rule it resent every email this sender has ever sent to me over the years back to them with the rejectiopn message.  How do I keep this from happening again with new rules?  There do not seem to be any "messages sent after X date" modifiers in the rules settings.
3.  Is there any way to make the rules happen acros all iCloud accounts.

Answer 1

Another "me too".  Either this doesn't work, or the way to use it is shockingly obtuse; I'm a reasonably smart guy, and I haven't figured it out yet two months after upgrading to iOS 5.  I want to make a keynote presentation on Keynote on my Mac, and then view/edit/present it from my iPad.  I have iCloud turned on everywhere, I've gone through the whole rigamarole, but I can't find any way to get the documents onto Keynote on the iPad.  None!  Safari doesn't do it because it won't let you log in to the full iCloud through the iPad browser; it takes you to a "set up iCloud on this device" page, but there's no "iWork" button like there is on a regular browser.
So, does anyone know what weird hoops you have to jump through for iCloud to serve the function of getting documents back and forth between Keynote Mac and Keynote iPad?  That seems like an absolutely bone-simple, common use case, so it's kid of appalling that it's so difficult to do.
Update: Keynote on my iPad is automagically talking to iCloud, but Keynote on my Mac is automagically talking to iWork.com.  And there's no obvious way to get them on the same page, as it were.  What is up with that?  I have checked System Preferences and also Keynote preferences and Keynote sharing menu but nothing seems relevant.  ???????  This is really unnerving.
