Using iCloud for Apple Mail on different macs

Hello,
Is there a way to setup iCloud as the storage for my Apple Mail folders? I'd like to use the same mail folders on different macs.
Would they be available offline (as would be with imap email synchronization)?
Thanks in advance,
Francis

And if there's no iCloud folder nor entry in the Mailbox List window what should I do?
I do see a heading for MobileMe and GoogleMail, but nothing for iCloud.
Your computer's OS is too old for iCloud, 10.7.2 is the minimum and you have something in the 10.6's (I would guess)
or
You have a compatible computer but never set iCloud up.
Which is it?

HT204053 How do I use the same Apple ID and different Cloud for other devises

Hi
How do I use the sane Apple ID and different Icloud for other devises

I want to use iCloud for every thing else except for Messages. I do not want to send an iMessage and receive it on both my iPhone and Mac.
How do I do that?

Howdy kingtonz,
If I understand you correctly, you want to limit to limit your use of the Messages application to non-iCloud sources such as text messaging through your phone carrier, is that right?
You can turn off the use of iMessages in Settings > Messages > iMessage. See this help article -
Messages settings - iPhone
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Take a look at this link.

I currently have the 55 gb of ICloud space that I'm using mostly for e-mail. ICloud has sent out a note that I will be downgraded to 5 gb. Is ICloud stating that there will no longer be an upgrade to 50 gb even if you pay for it?

I wouldn't think so. Everyone who migrated from a MobileMe account got an extra 20GB free until 30 Sept, and the emails now being sent out presumably go to everyone regardless of any subsequent storage purchase. As you've paid for 50GB this should be unaffected (but I should keep an eye on it!). If you have any uncertainty about what is going on you should contact Suppport at http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/

HT4970 I have chosen not to use iCloud for the time being, and cannot get the Reminders i input on my Mac to replicate to my iphone and iPad? any help is appreciated.

I have chosen not to use iCloud for the time being since the syncing was inconsistently working with the calender and contacts; and cannot get the Reminders on my Mac to sync/replicate onto my ios device, neither iphone nor ipad. Help is appreciated in respect to Reminders. Thank you.

ok, thanks. couple other questions...
1. will it sync to my reminders on my MAC too if i enter via icloud? if not, what's the reason for having the reminder list available on my Mac if it can't sync?
2. I have 2 different email accounts, one with a .mac address and another with .msn. both can be accessed via icloud. i ran a test using my msn acct as the signin and it logged the reminder onto both the iphone and ipad fine.
however, when i try with my mac address, it only shows up on my iphone, which list reminders under icloud(which worked on both devices and then under mac which worked only on the iphone, not ipad. any idea why that might be happening?
thanks for your help.

Ai changed my email for my apple id, but i can't change my iCloud ccount because i can't remember my old password, and now i need to use iCloud for my new IPhone but it isn't working, how do i fix that?

i changed my email for my apple id, but i can't change my iCloud account because i can't remember my old password, and now i need to use iCloud for my new IPhone but it isn't working, how do i fix that?

If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Creation of a new Keychain Entry (Internet password) for Apple Mail

I am working on a Mail Assistant to set up a new Mail Account for Apple Mail.
My problem concerns the creation of the Keychain Entry for the POP Account with which Apple Mail is set up (by my custom Mail Assistant).
I am able to create a Keychain Entry with all relevant User Data, the Keychain Entry also appears to be valid (I ran the Keychain First Aid Tool to check it), but when I start the Apple Mail App, it does not recognise the created Keychain entry, but is asking me to enter the Password for the POP Account which I set up successfully.
Any help is appreciated for giving me a hint of how Apple Mail recognises or links respectively to its adherent Keychain Entry.
Thanks in advance
Thomas

Couple of things to try Theo...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Window Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

I want to use iCloud as my mail instead of Hotmail or Outlook, but it's not working out, because I only get an error message that it is a problem with activating my e-mail.

If by "merge accounts" you mean merge iTunes accounts (using your Apple ID), then the answer is no. If you bought songs, apps, etc. using both accounts over time, then your are stuck. You need to choose one account for your iTunes.

2-Step Verification for Apple Mail on OS 10.7.5

Can someone verify if having 2-Step Apple ID verification work for Apple Mail? I use iCloud email but on my MacBook (OSX 10.7.5) Mail program, I can't access it. I tested my iCloud Account via Settings and it can't log in. I discovered that by turning off the 2-step verification it works normally on my MacBook.
I'm interested in switching back to 2-Step Verification but I'm worried it won't work again. I'd like to know if this is working now for OSX 10.7.5? I can't upgrade to a new OSX on my MacBook since it's an older model.

Double-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
imap.gmail.com
Launch the Network Utility application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Network Utility in the icon grid.
Step 1
Select the Lookup tab and paste into the address field (command-V). Press return. Post the output that appears below – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Step 2
Select the Ping tab and do the same. Please enter the same input as you did in Step 1. Don't use the output of Step 1 as input to Step 2.
Important Note
Some web browsers and mail clients will automatically convert a domain name such as "www.example.com" to a clickable URL, such as http://www.example.com. That will interfere with the test. If necessary, edit the input in the Network Utility window to remove any added characters.

HT5361 Best way to track history of version releases for Apple Mail.app?

Best way to track history of version releases for Apple Mail.app?
A great many of the traditional OSX installtion history items are no longer available in 10.8 One can no longer consult the installation history of the "Software Update" preference pane, because that functionality has moved to the Mac App Store utility. The Systems Information Utility does indeed show *some* installation history, but it does NOT include the Mail.app, for some reason. Fianlly, I can't find a web posting where apple at least provides the list of all recent software updates for mail.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

UPDATE:
I have partially answered my own question. I found that if go to the History window for the selected file, then double-click the "version" (indicated by the label, which is actually displayed in the "comment" field), it opens the file in html. But, there is a "save as" button in this preview window. If I save the file to a temporary location and optionally, give it a different file name (e.g., to indicate the rev #), I can then go to Windows Explorer, double-click the file, which then launches in a browser window and displays the formatted web file. So this will definately suit my purposes from a audit perspective.
However, I still would like to understand how the tags, branches, and pinning works because that might be a better way?

How can I use iCloud for storage without duplication problems?

I recently set up iCloud to use on my Mac and PC. With the exception of a single data file that I have stored in the cloud (as a working data file) that I use both on my Mac and PC....I want to use the rest of my 20 gigs of space on iCloud for storage/backup purposes only. However, I have very little experience with iCloud; and it doesn't seem entirely intuitive to use iCloud.
For example, if I store all of my music and pictures on iCloud, how do I stop Itunes and iphoto from duplicating the results of each music and picture file in those programs? I ask this question because I have seen iTunes act up way too many times (in other circumstances) when it creates duplicate music files.
Just to be clear, I want everything to remain on my local hard drive. I only want to use iCloud for storage/backup only. So, again, how do I stop iTunes and iPhoto from reading music and photo files once I successfully get them on iCloud? (I am thinking I have to hide the archived files once I get them in iCloud, but unsure about how I go about doing that). And here's my second question. To upload my personal music and picture files to iCloud, can I simply drag and drop them into the iCloud drive on my computer and assume they will be successfully uploaded?
My second question seems kind of basic too. But, once again, iCloud does not seem entirely intuitive to use for a beginner. For example, I recently purchased some music from the Itunes store. And while I have it downloaded on my harddrive (like I wanted it)......I don't see it on the iCloud drive (on my computer)....nor do I see it when I log into icloud.com on the web site. Thanks for any replies.

If you have a Mac signed into your account running iPhoto, you might want to check iPhoto>Preferences>iCloud to make sure Automatic Upload isn't checked. If it is checked, all new photos added to iPhoto are automatically added to your photo stream.
