Me.com Email Addresses Now Working

[satcomer]

Well it's not working for me yet and I have been a dot Mac user sense the beginning.

 

[jmcarlisle]

i'm @me!

mine's working!

And this is why I don't like .mac and other email addresses. I hate it when the company up and decides to change the address. Verizon customers are going through that right now in our area. This is very disruptive for people.

The solution is to own your own domain name. $9/yr. Cheaper than .Mac by far. Add a web host shared account on that for another few dollars a year and you have far more power and stability. Then you don't have Apple all of a sudden changing your email address which means notifying all your friends and customers, printing new brochures, new business cards, updating logins, etc.

Apple is doing their .Mac customers a huge disservice.

They're not changing the addresses they are re-branding to suit non-apple users. you still keep your orig .mac email address...

 

[HD303]

Not a fan of ME.

In the past, it was nice just saying blank@mac.com
Now you will say black@me.com, thats M E dot com Trust me, you will be spelling this out for people

 

[snberk103]

neither either

gooonnne...... I sent a message to me at me.com (I mean my real .me address) and it has neither been delivered, or bounced back.....

(song)
"I have a little a message, and I know not where its gone...
Have you seen my message, sadly, it is out there alone..."

It has been public knowledge since the announcement that they are NOT changing .mac addresses. Just adding .me.
Please do your homework before you rant.

My @me addy is working also. I even was able to set it up on my iPhone as "Other" though still using mail.mac.com as incoming server.

 

[Quillz]

Yeah, it's like the whole Fox thing with MyThis and MyThat.

Why does everything have to be about me? Can't people think about more than just themselves?

In our society? No, no they can't. Our society is all about "me."

 

[gonnabuyamac]

mine's not working yet.

of course, since everybody that i know uses my .mac address, i really don't feel like going through the hassle of changing.

 

[jplan2008]

In our society? No, no they can't. Our society is all about "me."

And with Apple, if it's not about me, it's about i.

 

[mambodancer]

Ya want silly sounding email addresses it goes both ways.

Because there are going to be iPhone and PC users who don't have a Mac that will be using this service. Makes no sense for them to have a @mac.com email address.

You can still use @mac.com yourself if you like.

arn

spit@mac.com, iam@mac.com, ur@mac.com, iscream@mac.com....

Personally, mobile me sounds very British. I kind of like it.

 

[puckhead193]

mine doesn't work...

 

[overanalyzer]

Both my primary @mac.com address and my aliases are working with @me.com. I don't have much interest in using them, but there you go.

 

[HLdan]

Not working for me either also in the UK. Wonder if it is only working in the States

Most likely it's because Apple is based in the states. It's logical that they test locally first.

 

[autrefois]

Mine's not working yet either. I tried earlier this week on a whim, but it's still not working now. I guess they'll be rolling the new addresses in over the next few days, and everything will be ready by July 11th.

By the way, I'm in the US and it's still not working for me, so at least for now it doesn't seem to be a US vs. others sort of thing...

 

[Achiever]

Mine is working on my main email (haven't checked any aliases).

Add me to the list of folks who hate the @me name and will continue to use the @mac name. As I have posted before, a large part enjoying a .mac email address was "flying the colors" with my email address. I liked it when I got to give out my address or send and receive emails that mark me as a Mac user. I'm proud of being a part of the Mac community, as I imagine we all are given our proclivities to come onto these message boards to post and converse with our brethren. I would have been severely bummed if they had pulled out the @mac addresses from under us. Glad they didn't.

Just to play devil's advocate, too, if Apple is agreeing to mirror all @mac addresses with an @me counterpart, even aliases, then I can now have up to 12 different email addresses to give out & utilize from my one account. That is actually pretty neat. IF that ends up being the case.

 

[mobile23]

works for me. thanks

Mine is working now. Pretty sweet. I'm glad I don't have to work on getting a new email address out to everyone I know.

 

[creator2456]

US - ~@me.com is not up yet.

I'll probably use both for different things.

 

[appleguy]

Sort of working

Ok my current .mac and old aliases arent working
but just created a new alias and that works

 

[appleguy]

since creating a new alias
mine is working

 

[aosman]

Weird, last I tried it still doesn't work for me.

 

[lermal]

Just tried mine and it works for me. July 11th can't get here soon enough.

 

[OriginalMacRat]

No, .Mac was pretty dumb. Everyone thinks you work at Apple.

Everyone?

Maybe your friends aren't very bright.

 

[appleguy]

Everyone?

Maybe your friends aren't very bright.

Maybe they are still on PC's
