Is there any development plan for iCloud Mail so I can use it instead of Gmail at some point?

I would like to leave Google services in favour of Apple, as I feel that Apple is much more serious about their users, more mature and more reliable. I also feel that my data is safer with Apple than with Google.
So I have some questions:
Is there a plan for introducing business service of Mail or icloud in general, so I can create multiple accounts in our business domain?
Is there a plan do extend Mail capabilities so it supports multiple identities including retrieving and sending through external email addresses?
Thanks
Michal

Apple doesn't allow discussing new products here, it is prohibited in the terms of use.
I would suggest you look at the history of Apple's online services…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MobileMe (The sidebar lists release/ closure dates).
In the 14 years since iTools started they have never offered the ability to use custom domains. They haven't really added any multiuser support in one account (not at any level suitable for a business).
Apple also closed down the MobileMe sites and galleries features, causing many thousands of sites to disappear. Apple didn't even offer users the ability to redirect to a new domain. Apple also drop services for older Mac OS's, you may find a member of staff is left out of Apple services because they need to use some older software or don't want to use the latest OS etc.
iCloud is just like Apple's other online services - targeted at home or new users. The integration is good, but only for people who fit into Apple's intended audience.
My advice – do not setup your business accounts with iCloud if you plan on avoiding the disruption caused by the whims of Apple.
If you don't want to use Google use another provider for email, calendars etc (or run your own Mac server if you have the know how).
In the 10 years since Gmail started it has been consistent as is the 'Gmail for my domain'. Google have also removed and changed services, but the core features are still there & work on many older OS's.

  • Is there any way to organize icloud mail by discussion?

    Is there any way to organize icloud mail by discussion?
    This funcitionality seems to be on all other apple devices, but I can not find a way to organize my emails by conversation.
    If this feature is not currently available on icloud mail it desperately needs to be added.

    There is no option to sort photos with various options in the Camera Roll on your iPhone just as there is no way to do the same with a digital camera. The default sort order is by date and time - as photos are captured or saved from another source such from a received email or text message.
    Not sure why the sort order changed with your iPhone's backup, but there this can't be changed.

  • Does SCCM 2007 R3 support SQL 2014 if not is there any mitigation plan for this

    Hi ,
    As part of Database migration to SQL 2014, wanted to check whether SCCM 2007 R3 support SQL 2014 or not.
    I have a link for SCCM 2012 which tells it does support to SCCM 2012, but in upgrade mode.
    Is there any other approch instead of upgrade on SCCM 2012. 
    Please let us know.

    I doubt CM07 will support SQL 2014, particularly when mainstream support has ended already.

  • My Ipod touch got stolen is there any way to deactivate it so no one can use it

    My Ipod touch got stolen can I deactivate it so no one can use it?

    No.
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • Is there any updates available for Acrobat 7.0 to be used with Vista?

    It seems to be an uncompatibilty with Vista that I acquired yesterday. No problem with XP but struggling with Vista. A guy in Dublin over the phone (when I registered the product) said it was not compatible and that is it. No solution he was aware of. The message given as a code error is 93: -2 or a window appears in Acrobat saying:
    HKCMD.EXE and IGFXTRAY.EXE - BAD IMAGE
    C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/IGFXRES.DLL IS EITHER NOT DESIGNED TO RUN ON WINDOWS OR IT CONTAINS AN ERROR.
    The suggestion is to desinstal and reinstall software. I have tried this but still the same problem. I have tried so many times that I could not activate the software automatically over the internet - so called this guy in Dublin...
    I reckon that the suggested update to Acrobat 7.0.1 is not good as when installed, repeated error messages come up! I am reluctant to try to download it again just to try because I am scared that I will have to call Dublin again to activate the software...
    Any suggestion on the above?
    Thanks guys.

    Starting here http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
    You could click the individual update links to read the descriptions of what is included in each update
    The current version 9 is designed for Vista (as well as XP)
    As far as I know, version 8 would work with Vista AFTER you applied the updates

  • Is there any other flashplayer besides Adobe's that Firefox can use?

    Running Windows XP,Firefox 29.0, and Adobe Flashplayer 13. Computer acknowledges install but won't display player. It shows itself for a few seconds and then the black window disappears and nothing else happens. I've uninstalled, reinstalled, tried stand alone installer, everything that I've seen suggested. Is there some kind of block or timeout mechanism I'm missing?

    In case one of your extensions is interfering, could you test Flash in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    (Flash and other plugins still run)
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
    Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
    Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
    Snow Leopard from eBay
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
    Be sure your computer meets the minimum requirements:
    Apple - OS X Mountain Lion - Read the technical specifications.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
      1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)

  • Is there any transaction code for uploding logo in ALV reports.

    is there any transaction code for uploding logo in ALV reports.

    hi,
    call function 'REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE'
           exporting
                it_list_commentary = t_header.
                i_logo             = 'Z_LOGO'.
    endform.
    Upload Logo for REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE
    For those who wish to upload and use a picture in your ALV abap reports.
    Steps for uploading Logo :-:
    1. Goto the transaction OAER
    2. Enter the class name as 'PICTURES'
    3. Enter the class type as 'OT'
    4. Enter the object key as the name of the logo you wish to give
    5. Execute
    6. Then in the new screen select Standard doc. types in bottom window
    Click on the Screen icon
    Now, it will ask for the file path where you have to upload the logo
    7. Now you can use this logo in REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE
    or
    Import Logo and Background Picture for Reporting
    In this step, you can import a customer-specific logo and a background picture into the R/3 System. These will be displayed in the header area of reports in HR Funds and Position Management.
    From the SPRO:
    HR Funds and Position Management --> Dialog Control --> Customize Reporting Interface --> Import Logo and Background Picture for Reporting.
    Activities
    1. Enter the Name of your logo/background picture as an object key in the initial screen.
    2. Make sure that the class name is PICTURES, and the class type is OT.
    3. Choose Execute.
    4. Double-click the document type Picture on the Create tab page. A dialog box will appear in which you can enter the path in which the logo/background picture can be found.
    5. Enter the path and choose Open. The logo will be uploaded into the current R/3 System. If the logo/background picture is to be transported into other systems as well, choose Transport.
    6. Return to the initial screen and repeat the procedure after having entered the Name of your background picture as an object key.
    Please note that the logo/background picture can only be displayed in ALV-based reports with an HTML header. Manually programmed reports such as business distribution plans are not based on the ALV.
    If you have selected several initial objects, ALV-based reports in HR Funds and Position Management will automatically use a hiearchical-sequential display. A logo is not displayed here either. Note also that the logo cannot be printed (see print preview in program).
    Make sure that the logo does not exceed a height of 100 pixels because it would mean that the header of the report will be scrollable.
