PC / Galaxy Convert

[StephenG]

Hi Guys n Gals

New to the forum group. Bitten the bullet and jacked in both Samsung Galaxy and PC, for iPhone5 and iPad (new) +quite old Mac Mini - So expect a tide of questions.........great to know there is someone out there prepared to listen and help old guys like me.

ICloud seems to have sorted most of my initial problems so far but struggling with sub folders in mail and getting iCloud on my old Mini.

If anyone has the time or patience, advice would be appreciated. Meanwhile I will trawl the forum posts. No doubt someone has already asked basic questions like these.

You may find it easier to visit icloud.com in Safari on your Mac, and set them up there.

However, it's not terribly difficult on the iPad. Here's a thread of visual tips. Post number 46 has a quick guide to creating a folder in the Mail app. It shows Yahoo, but will work the same with an iCloud account.
