Its easily achieved without using Icloud if you use imap for email instead
of pop, this means that you read your mail with Mpro but its stored on your
isp's servers not your local computer, so can be read/replied to/moved to
folders etc.you can also keep copies on your computer(s) and sync with the
online account.
Its all in the manual for Mpro.
