Please help! Just need to setup my me.com email address on to a new iPhone, but don’t seem to be able to get anywhere with settings etc.

Can’t seem to use an icloud.com login instead and route via me.com…….. incredibly difficult to use a simple email function!!!

iPhone XR, iOS 16

Hi there Gower999,


You don't need to set up a me.com email in the Mail app on your iPhone in order to access that email account. Since the me.com email address is an alias of your actual iCloud account, you'll want to sign in with the iCloud account and then turn on Mail in Settings.

The email looked at before posting, has addition info about the different iCloud email addresses. Here is the link again for you: iCloud: About your @icloud.com, @me.com, and @mac.com email addresses - Apple Support


Take care.
