  Which heaven forbid you try syncing anything other than Mail. Contacts and Calendars have some very subtle bugs which snowball over time (and even on Google Premier Apps).

    What bugs do you speak of? I've been syncing my contacts with Google and I haven't noticed anything gamebreaking.

      The biggest one for me is that contact photos resize down to tiny thumbnails after any sync with Google Contacts. There've been a thousand complaints in Google forums for the last two years and it's still unfixed. Google Contacts also uses a different set of field names, and will frequently sync "main" to "other", for instance. Or just mess up field formatting, or break gtalk ids...

        One that I have noticed is that "Continue search on server" doesnt work.

          That is my biggest peeve about Mail.app with gmail

        Yep, I can confirm dealing with these issues for years myself as well. As soon as iCloud was released, I happily ported over my contacts. It's been a much better experience so far (I can finally use large contact photos!).

          I thought about doing this. Do you store the canonical versions in iCloud and push them Google or have you just left Google behind? How did you go about setting it up?
