How do I sync notes between two macs with the new Notes.app in Mountain Lion? I've tried the following to sync notes between two macs with the new notes.app in Mountain Lion:


System Preferences > iCloud and check the "document and date" service.
System Preferences > Mail Calendar, select the iCloud account and check the sync notes box, then click add. It unchecked itself after I quit system preferences.
System Preferences > iCloud and check the sync notes box. It asked me to specify or create a @me.com account.

Is the only way to do this is to create a @me.com account?
Yes. You have to have an iCloud account for iCloud syncing to work.
