Unrelated but Gmail's spam filter has become phenomenally bad over the last few months. It's incredible what kind of garbage is actually making it to my inbox.

Till now nobody explained the advantage of Mail iCloud ON – if you use IMAP/SMTP setting in your email accounts they are synchronized on every device automatically.

Yeah I was going to say, Apple Mail has been working fine for me - I saw the notices about the outage but never had an issue. I have about 5+ emails going to my Apple Mail. (Domain through Apple, Fastmail, Gmail, etc).
