I have installed iOS 6 beta 3 on Monday, got an additional @icloud.com email address but can not use it from my iPhone, iPad (both iOS 6 beta 3) or Mac (Mountain Lion GM). The only thing I can do is sending emails over beta.icloud.com. Do I have to configure anything else?

Go in the preferences in the mail app on beta.icloud.com, then click on 'Accounts'. There you have the option to enable or disable each e-mail domain to use them for "Send & Receive" or "Only Receive". When you set for example your icloud.com address to "Only Receive", you can't send e-mails from it from any of your devices.

Thanks for the advice but it will not help. I can only send via beta.icloud.com but not with my Mac, iPhone or iPad using the new name@icloud.com mail address. And I also get a failure when I try to send emails to name@icloud.com.

Are you running iOS 6 or Mountain Lion on any of your devices?

I didn't have to. I logged in to beta.icloud.com, and a few hours later all my mail alias had an additional @icloud.com address. When I send an e-mail on my iPhone and I tape the FROM field, I can choose the icloud.com addresses.

Mhh, ok! It is just a little bit strange because I have this half-finished account now for almost 48 hours. So I think that I have to wait and should be patient ;)
 
Hi. Just got an iPhone 5 and fired up my old Apple ID.

My ID is a mac.com address, but my email is me.com

I've now joined iCloud and in the email settings of iCloud on the phone and web app there is now an iCloud.com email

However... If I try and send to/from this I get errors stating it doesn't exist.

Any ideas? I'd prefer to use it to be honest to the me.com one. I spoke to Apple support and they were less than helpful.

Does anyone have a technical enquiries email for apple?
 
I just tested my iCloud.com address on my iPhone 4S, and it works fine, sending and receiving.
 
Apple gave my an @iCloud email address when I got my iPhone 4S replaced the other day while I was setting it up as a new iPhone.
