The previous posters from 10 months ago are completely correct. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2623


It's always better to test and research answers before posting, to avoid adding misinformation to ancient threads.

I added the email address to my Mac Book Pro Mail program by File> Add Account> (presumably the same as going into settings> Mail, Contacts, Calenders> Add Account on an IPad), and filled in the 2 boxes as follows: Where my exsisting icloud mail address was eg abc123@icloud.com, I put abc123@mac.com and used my exsisting password. The computer then set everything up automatically, which has been verified by the email program. The bad news is that when I try to send an email it will not send or recieve, so unfortunatley the other guys may be right. Sorry could'nt be more help.
