I've never had any spam issues with my iCloud account.
Gmail? spam city baby. But the spam filter Google created works like it's supposed to.
I was actually talking about Hotmail/Live mail - their spam filter is worthless.

Gmail is general. Icloud mail means that you are bond to apple. If you ever want to change device to android or windows phone maybe this is a problem.
Also gmail features are much more than icloud email. Take a look at settings of both accounts.
With GMail, you can change between various ecosystems like iOS, Android and WP with ease. With iCloud, you must use an iDevice to access your email. If you don't have an iDevice, then you need a full PC or an iMac to access iCloud through web browser as many mobile browsers do not support it fully.
So using iCloud is just a pain in the arse.

********. No other words to describe it.
iCloud Mail is IMAP based and there are tons of choices on any platform to use it. Even iCloud calendar, contacts and tasks can be synced (by 3rd party apps) and used on Android.
I would suggest you have a better look before posting.
iCloud Mail is not reliable as Gmail and Outlook. Some time iCloud Mail lost email....
I have to agree 100% The platform is totally unreliable: it frequently shuts down in mid-mail composition...sometimes it cannot load the mail...lots of times it cannot mail the document. Many times it "savfes" the document and interrupts composition. I've used it with Explorer, Chrome and now Firefox: I regularly maintain the drive and do everything I can to ensure peak performance in an older Dell. Nothing works. Yahoo gives me no such problems. I'm going to forward all my icloud emails to a gmail account. Picking icloud as a business and professional email was a big mistake. I cannot believe that Apple has created such an inept email platform!

iCloud email has works great for me. I've not lost any emails. I also like the way it works with he cloud. Seems perfect to me.
My primary reservation is Gmail's support for industry standards. Google dropped support for Exchange ActiveSync last year or two and words have it that IMAP maybe dropped in the near future as well. If that happens, the only way to access Gmail would be Gmail.com website and Google's Gmail client (and perhaps few 3rd party apps that use Gmail API).Google spends a lot of resources on Gmail so it will be around as long as email exists. It dedicates a lot of time on it as well so it will always be reliable.
I've tried it multiple times. Most of the time it works great. I want to workvbecause it would be one less account I'd have to worry about. I am currently giving it another shot, forwarding my gmail to iCloud. Unfortunately this morning I found an email that was in my gmail but not in my icloud account. I've had this occur a few times along with some lost sent items. I've docummented this in previous posts. It's a huge disappointment really. I guess I just can't walk away from gmail because it always works (for me). Maybe I'll give outlook.com another shot or continue to give iCloud more chances.
