You’re welcome.
CloudKit seemed to be the recommended option from what I was able to read in the manual and unofficial guide.
Should I be using a different method to sync?
CloudKit is an option that works for some but not so well for others. And we don’t recommend using a remote sync option unless it’s really needed. You obviously still have the choice, but you have to accept the potential pitfalls as well.
See this post for more info…
Also, is there a way to exclude certain parts of my Inbox from syncing? On my main machine I have a set of RSS feeds that update regularly. I don’t need or want them to sync over to the iPad.
No. You can only sync an entire database.
