Me.com Email Addresses Now Working

[skinykeny]

.Me

The Push aspect is very nice. All of my email addresses are forwarded to my .Mac (.Me) account and they all come to my Treo (via chatter) pretty much instantly.

Though that obviously doesn't include contacts or calendar on a Treo.

not working... checked a couple of times, aliases also...

Like I said it did work for a little period last night (EDT)
and the @me.com messages got into the .me account
and the .mac message in my .mac account

I understand that the .mac account will disappear to the benefit of the .me account

So anyway, I configured the .me account and I'll see when it becomes active

Maybe a new version of Mail will be issued and needed

Your .Mac account will NOT disappear, you will still be able to use your .Mac email address in the future.

Set up a new alias and all your accounts will start working.

Great news! I've just send a few emails to my @mac.com-aliases - replacing "mac.com" with "me.com" -> emailalias1@me.com, etc...

WORKS!!! Apple has even transitioned all the aliases to me.com!!!

Two weeks ago I created some new aliases ideally suited to me.com and I'm delighted to find they've all been translated. They have stopped alias creation on .Mac with the message "You will be able to create a new alias after 2/7/08".

 

[kolax]

I've switched to @me.com now.

It'll be exactly like the iPod - a stupid name at the start that no one really liked, but grow on people and I reckon it'll be extremely successful and the MobileMe name will become well known.

 

[supercres]

Works for me, and I just got a .Mac account recently to get ready for MobileMe.

Just tried mine and it doesn't work. Eventually it will I guess.

Actually they haven't stopped it... when you create too many aliases in a short time, the system stops you.

Thanks for that bit of information. Since I hadn't got up to the five, I'd assumed the block was a general one because of the changeover to mobile.me

username@mac.com

Does anyone know if accounts using .mac will get pushed as well?

 

[IJ Reilly]

This is fun. Quite a few amusing @me address aliases still available. I just claimed everybodyistalking, quit.hollering and blue.skies.smilin (think Harry Nilson, John Prine and Irving Berlin) -- and they work!

How do you add more aliases to the account?

 

[IJ Reilly]

I had to figure that out too. In your .mac mail window, click on "preferences" (upper right corner), then on the "aliases" tab.

Not sure you understand the concept here
everybodyistalking at me, or, quit at me ... it does not mean anything....

 

[slackpacker]

no change for me to me.com

 

[macgreiner]

You're French, the first one is from a song in a movie from America.

All of them are song titles.

Quit Hollering at Me (John Prine)

Ohhh! I see now!!!!

You seem to speak good English - you really don't see anything witty about having that as an email address?

Ahh got it, thanks!

something.witty is the best I could come up with.
