Q: Can't receive email sent to @icloud.com email address

Hi everyone,

 

i have a @me email address from the old mobileme days and it said that we were supposed to get new @icloud addresses. its showing up that there is one on my account, but any mail that gets sent to it gets bounced back to the sender. I also tried creating an alias of the same name without success. Won't let me save it. If any one could help me out that would be great. Thanks

OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

    Hi there,

     

    I have exactly the same problem. I can choose to send from @me.com or @iCloud.com under properties in my iCloud account (online). Both mails are sent correctly but I am not able to receive mails sent to @icloud.com. Apples mail server are refusing them "mx4.icloud.com.akadns.net [17.172.36.43] #<mx4.icloud.com.akadns.net [17.172.36.43] #5.1.1 SMTP; 550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias: deleted@icloud.com> #SMTP#"

    Pretty much the article says everything is loaded and it is showing up in everyone's icloud BUT the main power switch is not on and they will be sending out a email when eveything goes completely live and you can use the new email. so for now the @icloud is not completely working.
