If you're forwarding your Gmail to iCloud email, then you only need to load your iCloud account on your iPhone.
Don't forget when you reply to an email it will go out from your iCloud account and email address.

Yes thats fine, I am trying to migrate towards my primary .me email address.
May sound like a dumb question but...
How do you forward all emails to icloud?
That is unless you tell it to send from the gmail address using the SMTP server.
This is what I do. I don't have gmail set up on the phone and all mail gets forwarded to my icloud, but any email I send out is sent from my gmail.

Completely unrelated but can one still acquire a @mac.com address?

Great idea; just tried it myself and it worked flawlessly.
Go to your mail settings and click on your iCloud account, then click Account. Scroll down to Advanced then click on Mail. Scroll down again and click SMTP under outgoing mail server and turn off iCloud SMTP server then click Add Server... under Other SMTP Server.
Host Name: smtp.gmail.com
User Name: [your gmail address]
Password: [your gmail password]
Use SSL: On
Authentication: Password
Server Port: 465
Easy peasy; even though you'll see your me.com account as the "from" address, it gets sent from your Gmail account. Beautiful.
EDIT: To clarify that you put your own password in. ;-)
Yep, that's it exactly. Another great thing about this is you get almost zero junk mail in your iCloud account.

Has anyone got icloud to send from the their Gmail account. I tried the settings listed here and it still shows as sent from my icloud address?
I have mine set up like that. Log into Gmail and send emails with my icloud email listed...is that what u mean?
