2. Working with Mail, Notes, and iMessages

Like its MobileMe predecessor, iCloud provides a full set of email services. There are changes (some for the better, some not so much) from MobileMe mail, but for the most part I think that iCloud email is a better product. And you can’t beat the price; it’s free with your iCloud account. In this chapter, we’ll see how to set up your iCloud email account on both the Mac and on an iOS device, and manage that mail on the iCloud website.

As part of Apple’s Mail program and the iOS Notes app, you also have the ability to create notes that will sync between your devices via iCloud. You’ll see how to deal with notes on both platforms.
