If as your signature states you are using 10.6.8 (if it isn't correct please update it to prevent confusion) then you need to set Mail up manually to access an existing iCloud account's email - the method detailed in this page gets round Snow Leopard's tendency to dump you into a MobileMe account:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
You cannot create a new iCloud account in Snow Leopard; you cannot create a new @mac.com address in anything. If you already have an iCloud account migrated from MobileMe, then if you had an @mac.com version of the address in that then you still have it.
If you have an iCloud account you can add up to three 'email aliases', which are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main address. These can only be @me.com addresses. You do this at http://icloud.com - please see this page:

You must be talking about email aliases. Log into icloud.com with a browser, go to the email page and click the cog wheel icon in the upper right. Go to preferences>accounts. YOu can define aliases there. Note that they must now be @icloud.com named emails.

HT2731 can I set up a second email address on iCloud using the same apple id

can I set up a 2nd email address on iCloud using the same apple I'd for a 4s iPhone?

You can create up to 3 alias @icloud.com email addresses for that purpose. They will all receive email in your existing iCloud inbox and they can be deactivated or deleted if they attract too much spam. This article explains how to create an alias address: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

I want to add an additional email account to my iCloud account.

Greetings genekrebs,
You can add an email alias to your iCloud account. This allows you to have another email address that you can access using the same account. Many users find it helpful to have a "disposable" email account for various reasons. This article explains how to set it up -

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.

At this time you cannot reassign printer email addresses. Also, keep in mind If you delete a printer email address then you will not be able to use that same email address again for six months.

How do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail

how do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail?
I cant seem to add it. any ideas why it cant connect to the server? what server address should i be using?
regards
Brendon

Hi bmuur,
I also had the same problem.
I clicked Microsoft Exchange and kept trying to add my hotmail account that way but it kept asking for a server address for it to work.
If you go into Internet Accounts and instead of clicking Microsoft Exchange scroll down to the bottom of the list and click Add Other Account...
It will ask what sort of account you want to be created and I selected Add Mail Account and clicked create.
Enter your full name, hotmail email address and password.
I then clicked create and it worked for me.
Hopefully this solves your problem.

I have an Apple ID, but I did not set up a rescue email address. Now I need a rescue email address in order to reset my security questions/answers. How can I set up the rescue email address?

How do i set up an alias email address in entourage?

How do I set up an alias .mac email address in entourage? I set it up the same as my master .mac email address, but it is not working.

There are a couple of ways of doing this. The easiest is probably to just add the secondary address in the Mail.app -> Preferences -> Accounts field.
The specifics of which vary a little based on the OS/Mail.app version you're running, but in Yosemite:
Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts
Select your iCloud account and change the 'Alias' popup menu from your iCloud address to 'custom'.
Doing this enables the 'Email Address' field. In this field you can enter the email address you want to appear in your From header.
If you want to use multiple addresses (e.g. your iCloud address and your other alias), you can enter a comma-separated list of addresses - e.g. '[email protected], [email protected]' and then you'll have a pop-up menu on each new message where you can choose the address to use for each outgoing message. You can also set the default address in Preferences -> Composing -> Send new messages from:

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 a default From email address when I write or reply to an email

I have more than one email address. I am using Windows 7. When I write an email or reply to one, Thunderbird always seem to use the same address even if is not the address that the sender of an email used. There must some setting that made this address a default. I would like to change the default. I know I can manually select the address I want, but like to have a different one for the default than the one Thunderbird is selecting.

I understand that you want each of several email accounts to act independently, such that mail for account 1 is sent and received only on that account, then account 2 likewise, etc.
For each email account, left click on the account name and then select 'View settings for this account'.
On the 'Account Settings' page, look at the 'Reply-to-Address' (should be blank) and also select the 'Manage Identities' box, which shows the default name and email address. If the default is not for that account, you can add or edit the entries and set the default.
Back on the 'Account Settings' page, select 'Outgoing Server (SMTP)' and check the user name/account there. It should be for the same account.
For each account, the other accounts should not be mentioned in any of the places identified above.
