Feels like iCloud CoreData syncing has met its Maps moment. http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/03/frustrated-with-icloud-apples-developer-community-speaks-up-en-masse/ … (@ejacqui’s summary of the situation).

@reneritchie@danielpunkass Mail, Calendar, etc don't use iCloud so much as "iCloud". IMAP, CalDAV, are used instead. iCloud isn't a thing.

@gte Mail does sync rules smartmailboxes and account information as mobile documents. But no coredata sync (Mail uses sqlite db)

@smorr And I’m not sure the mobile document model really makes sense there. Maybe that explains the unreliability of Mail’s syncing. -
@mjtsai not sure it doesn't make sense. They are just plists. (Plus it was easy enough for MailTags to jump in to the game). -
@smorr Since it doesn’t know about transactions, problems occur if you made changes on multiple Macs within a short period of time. -
@mjtsai true. But as icloud doesn’t work between users there is reduced chance of collisions -
@smorr Reduced chance, yes, but it seems to happen in practice. Maybe because the network is slow/unreliable. -
@mjtsai true. And I know that Mail has a tendency to write out data at interesting times (eg at launch) so it can height chance of clobbers.

@smorr Great point. I’m dying to write a post that is just a list of what functionality is what when it comes to iCloud but … time!
