Macbook Pro has made my life very miserable, in a struggle to make something out of it, I'm trying to atleast stop receiving mails from my gmail account with out disabling it. My gmail account is being spammed heavily even after setting so many filters. So i'm auto forwarding the important ones to my iCloud mail. I am not disabling it as I want to reply to the mails from it that are being forwarded to my iCloud email. As my Gmail is being heavily spammed I want to stop syncing it with out disabling it. Or how can I add my gmail as alias in iCloud mail?

Keyboard shortcuts: Mail has it's own keyboard shortcuts, which you may have to learn.
Alternate email addresses/multiple accounts: works fine. Don't know about plus-addresses.
Priority inbox: this is not supported. Labels work, as does flagging. Public calendars work in iCal.
Syncing is very easy to set up - via IMAP in Mail, and in Preferences in iCal. In Lion it's even simpler.

You can set Rules in Mail.app preferences to take actions on emails. What should work is a rule configured like this:
You would just need to fill in the to: field with the account that should be receiving all email.
Another option is to forward mail from the source. If the source is iCloud, you can Forward all messages automatically. If you use Gmail, Gmail can do it too.

You can remove the account from iCloud which will not disable it you just won't get the emails anymore; you can still log into it via a web browser if you like. Adding the email address as an alias would only allow you to send an email from one account but having it say it's from the other.
