Me.com Email Addresses Now Working [For Some]
Yes. In addition to your mac.com email address, you will also get an address at me.com with the same username when MobileMe is available. For example, if your current email is emily_parker@mac.com, you will get emily_parker@me.com. You can send from whichever address you choose. The choice is yours. You will still receive email sent to your mac.com address so you wont miss any emails.
Apple has also published Frequently Asked Questions about the .Mac to MobileMe transition.The @me.com transition is part of Apple's shift to MobileMe, a new web-based service that offers "desktop class" email, calendar and address book functionality. MobileMe is set to officially launch in early July.
Update: At least one user said theirs is not yet working, but it is working for several others. It may take some time for the changes to propagate.

I had thought this was going to be a "you CAN switch" kind thing.
But it turns out to be a "you get BOTH" kind of thing.
I like.
Why couldn't Apple just revamp .Mac? The name wasn't the shortcoming... :rolleyes:
It's still a stupid name, though. spit@me.com, look@me.com, pissed@me.com....... :mad:

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.

No, .Mac was pretty dumb. Everyone thinks you work at Apple.
Ok, that's kind of funny, but it gets old. I never used my .Mac address because of that.
@me isn't going to have that problem.
I mean I'll probably use mac.com still, but having this me.com feels more personalized?
Now, say you sign up after the switch, do you get a .mac address?
WORKS!!! Apple has even transitioned all the aliases to me.com!!! :cool:

But only if you were a .mac subscriber prior to the switch to MobileMe, right?
I like me.com

No, I think you just get the @me.com address.
