First off....as I understand you have to buy a syncing program for the Macintosh. I only know of Missing Sync from Mark/Space. You can download it directly from their web-site. I have it installed on two other Mac syncing with some old Ipaq's and have had some problems. I have not had any problems though syncing with my Moto Q.
I have been syncing with bluetooth only and have had no problems. It is kind of a pain with the initial Bluetooth pairing setup, but once you are done with that, you don't have to do again.
As far as downloading email directly from .Mac, I found some site via a Google search that will explain it much better than me, but as I recall, it wasn't really that bad.
Goto messaging on your Q
Select any of the existing accounts
Then select the right button for menu
Select Options
Then select New Account
Type in Your Name, Email Address (xyz@mac.com),
Make sure Automatic Setup checkbox is selected
Hit right button for next.
My Moto Q was then able to figure out the port settings, etc on its own from there.
The next screens ask basic questions such as account name (your email address without the @mac.com), passwords, etc.
From what I remember, everything worked from then on. Just remember when you goto messaging on your Q, to select your .mac mail and then use the right button to select send/receive to manually check your email. My US Cellular rep said make sure you don't have the Q automatically check your email because it will quickly wear out your battery.
Hope this helps...
