how do i set up a .me account

See http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/

And for eMail...

Get an iCloud account first.

MobileMe & dot Mac will still work last I heard.

iCloud Mail setup, even in 10.4/10.5…

Don't delete your old account yet. Just setup a new one in Mail>Preferences>Accounts, little plus icon. Choose IMAP as account type, not ,mac or MobileMe.

IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:

▪ Server name: imap.mail.me.com

▪ SSL Required: Yes

▪ Port: 993

▪ Username: example@me.com (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)

▪ Password: Your iCloud password

SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:

▪ Server name: smtp.mail.me.com

▪ SSL Required: Yes

▪ Port: 587

▪ SMTP Authentication Required: Yes

▪ Username: example@me.com (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)

▪ Password: Your iCloud password
