How do I set up an Apple email?

How do I set up an Apple email account? Cannot find a how to do site!

On a Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click iCloud, select Mail, then follow the onscreen instructions.
After you set up your @icloud.com email address, you can use it to sign in to iCloud. You can also sign in using the Apple ID you used to create your iCloud account.

How can I set up an Apple email address

Hi,
I have an Apple account, when I first purchased the Mac Mini in 2009, my grandson set it up for me. Now that I am getting a lot more familiar with Apple thanks to all you ladies and gentlemen who have contributed to my learning, I now wish to have an Apple email address and do away with Google, can anyone please point me in the right direction please. I do not have ICloud on the Mac Mini, having said that, I noticed that when I purchased software from Apple or songs from Itunes, items I deleted are stored on ICloud.
As I am still running Snow Leopard, I will be upgrading to Maverick, should I wait till I do that and then set up a new Apple email address?
Thank you
Kind regards

If only a Mac you need Lion or later to get an iCloud account

How do I set up an apple email account

want to set up an email account

You have to be 13yrs. of age or older to have an iTunes account. So, if you want your daughter to have her own account, what you need to do is create another Apple ID for yourself. You can create one here:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId
Must be a verified email address...you can get a free Gmail account first. Then, when setting up the iTunes account, redeem an itunes gift card rather than using a credit card. That way, she'll have her own account, which you can monitor, but its not associated with any credit card.

HT2731 How do I set up an Apple ID for a child with gift card credit

How do I set up an Apple ID for a chld with a gift card credit, without credit card details and without using my own account?

Go to the main iTunes Store page (within iTunes), click on the "Redeem" link on the right side of the page, click "Create Apple ID", and enter in the code from your card when requested. You should be able to create an iTunes Store account for your child without needing a credit card. You'll just need an email address for him/her to create the ID, though it can be a "temporary" one that you don't intend to really be used. You can change the email address to which receipts are sent to an account you really wish to use.
Regards.

How do i set up a second email account on my 1st generation ipad

I have an apple 1st generation ipad. How do I set up a second email account??? Please help

You need to ask your mail provider for the setup info. Usually it can be found on ther website in their help pages or the like for most email providers.
If its a known service like hotmail, or gmail, there are preset options for those that fill in the required server info.
If its a corporate email, the IT department should have this information.
