I like some elements of iCloud for email, however its lack of settings (want to have your outgoing mail appear to come from john@doe.com? Tough) and terrible terrible search are a bit of deal breaker. How is the search so bad? I usually resort to just scrolling back through emails rather than use it.
Seriously. I usually end up grabbing my iPhone and doing a search there instead of via the web interface. So, so bad.

Not without IMAP it can't. I can't believe Microsoft is dragging their feet on this.
