Hi Robert and all. The reason why I stopped using Gmail is because it has become unreliable. I've heard other people experience the same issues I was facing, mainly messages not showing up in clients that I've configured the account for a few weeks and after a few weeks they finally appear. Ever since I made the switch to iCloud, I haven't looked back. I even configured Microsoft Office in my Windows 7 VM to use iCloud email using the iCloud app you can download for Windows. If I were you, I'd ditch Gmail altogether and go with iCloud, but if you like Gmail then stick to what you prefer.
