However the the @icloud.com option is greyed out. You may want to check if yours is selectable. I guess if not we have to wait till Apple notify us when the icloud.com version is usable for sending/receiving. good luck, cheers

I've had my iPhone 5 as long as others and have not received the email yet; I cannot access my me.com email on my phone, which is irritating.

I would turn off the ability to send from @icloud.com for now by going into settings, mail contacts calendars, icloud account, tap your icloud account again, then go to advanced mail, and turn off "allow sending from" @icloud.com

There is no way to change it; any time I go to any mail account, I am asked for the password to my iCloud account, which I don't have yet.

Oct 2, 2012 10:12 AMby DenaliDad,Thanks, Andy. It's not an issue with the Apple ID. It's an issue with the iCloud email password, which I do not have. That's why I'm wondering when the email from Apple will come; I see many folks already have iCloud.com addresses, but not me. I've had my me.com since MobileMe, long ago. I guess I will just wait. I am really very disappointed in how Apple has handled this iOS 6 release. I cannot imagine it happening like this under Steve Jobs.

Oct 2, 2012 11:06 AMby iNinja7,The allow sending from means you can choose to send from me.com or icloud.com. And the grayed out email is the default email you chose. (I switched icloud.com as the default and it grayed out the same email for sending from because its the default same applies if me.com is default, it becomes grayed out and icloud.com is selectable). What's confusing is how Apple did this. Giving us the option to choose it already on iOS 6 and not being able to yet until "a few weeks" as you and others have said with this email they'll give us. It even says in settings that both addresses get the same email so whoever sends to me.com you can access with icloud.com, yet as of now, sending to icloud.com just gives an error message and makes an "outbox" and puts that mail in it.
