Creating an @me email address

Hi guys,
Apologies if this has been asked before, I have looked in the forums.
If I set up an @me email account, will it remain @me even when the switch to @icloud occurs?
Also, does the actual storage of the emails use up your iCloud allowance?
Many thanks in advance,
Jf

There has been no announcement about the possibility of @icloud.com addresses. It's all rumour because somone leaked the addresses use for beta testing of iOS6.
Also, does the actual storage of the emails use up your iCloud allowance?
Yes. Your iCloud storage is used for emails, backups of iOS devices, Photo Journal if you choose to publish its albums on iCloud, Calendars, Bookmarks and Contacts, and 'Documents in the Cloud'.
'iTunes in the Cloud', 'iTunes Match' and Photostream do not use your storage space.

You can't merge accounts, if you start using the gmail account for iCloud by logging out of the me ID in system preferences and back in using the gmail ID, you'll need to copy all your data in calendars etc to the gmail account. you also won't be able to use the me address for mail unless you add the me account as a secondary account at system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars.

How do i create a new email address?

how do i create a new email address in Mail?

Have you already established a new email account with an email provider such as Apple, Yahoo, Google, etc.? From the email provider you will need to know the email address ([email protected]), and the password for the account. If this is a common used provider such as iCLoud, MS Exchange, Google, Yahoo, or AOL that is all you will need to know Mail will fill in the rest of the information automatically. For other accounts you will need to know the acount type (POP3 or IMAP), the URL for the POP or IMAP server, the security type for the server, the URL for the outgoing email server (SMTP) and the security type for it. Don't panic over all this, most email providers have instructions on their site for setting up Apple Mail -- you just have to find it.
Once you have the information together, open Mail then on the menu bar at the top of the screen select Mail > Preferences > Accounts. Click on the plus sign at the bottom of the list of accounts and start by entering your new email address and password. Mail will then attempt to fill in the rest of the information it needs. If it is unable to do so, you will have to fill in the information yourself hopefully following the instructions provided by the email provider.

I have an iCloud email address on my iMac. How can I create an icloud email address for my wife on the same computer?

If all you want is an additional email address you can create up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account.
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.

If you want to keep her email separate from yours she will need to create a new Apple ID, and use it to create a new iCloud account either on a separate computer or on a separate User Account on your Mac.

HT4479 I have an Apple ID that's not an email, and I have been told it needs to be an email address. I change it to my email address and it says my email is already in use. I only have one email address. I don't want to create a second email address.

I have an email account and they want me to use my (same) email account name as my Apple ID. When I do it says my email is already in use. Is Apply suggesting I need to create a second email address?

Is the email address being used in the account of another Apple ID that you have?

Hello,
I'm not quite sure exactly to what you are referring...can you provide more complete details please? For example, are you not able to create a hosted (e.g., @carrier or @BB) email address? Or is it that you cannot add into the email configuration your existing (e.g., Yahoo, GMail, etc.) account?

Early iMac (not Lion eligible), does my mobile me email address cease to work after June, 2012? Can one create an iCloud email address?

Cannot update to Lion on this early intel iMac. Now I find out I cannot move mail, contacts to iCloud. My question is, will my mobile me email address continue to work after June, 2012? Can one create an iCloud email address to use with iPhone and iPad?

If you own a iOS5 idevice like a ipod touch you are eligible to use icloud. This will preserve your current Email and Adress Book data after MobileMe dies next year.
Else you would need to purchase a Lion capable Mac or set up a Vista/Win7 PC with office2007/10 to use icloud.

How do I check to see if I created an icloud email address?

Are you logged into your iCloud with the AppleID you used to create the iCloud address?
If so, check the Mail checkbox in iCloud System Preferences and then go to Mail and look at Accounts Preferences. Does the email account show up in the iCloud account?

You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.

Creating a new email address in GroupWise 7

I have groupwise 7 and need to create a new email address. I have searched the on-line documentation and it says to use ConsoleOne. However, my GroupWise user interface does not the ConsoleOne. Can someone tell me how to get to ConsoleOne?

* skhazra,
I assume you are using Groupwise in a corporate environment, so best approach is to contact your company's Groupwise administrator.
He can create additional addresses for you @yourcompany.com or he can tell you if it is possible to add an external mail address to your Groupwise client.

This is the issue. They are telling you to get a specific email address.
If this address is already taken, then what?
Roger thank you that was the info i needed
