Want to use .mac NOT .me

Been researching and I see information about using .me instead of .mac for email. However I've used .mac for long time on both iPad and iPhone and want to keep using .mac. Since re-configuring my two iCloud accounts a week ago (I use a main iCloud for personal and family iCloud account for calendars etc) the outgoing mail ONLY uses the .me outgoing address. The iCloud accounts are showing .mac as account but the advanced tab shows .me and I don't see anyway to change the outgoing address name. My macbook still has .mac as outgoing. I went to icloud.com and made sure .mac was preferred.

So, is there a way to ONLY use .mac? Or is that dead due to the .mac changover to .me in June 2012?

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1

Check your settings again.

I have the grandfathered .mac email account and it continues to work as .mac under iCloud on both, my Mac and my iDevices.
