Thanks for the info.
I just tried and it did not work. Although now i see that i forgot to delete my mail account before starting. I have an @mac.com and an @me.com, not sure why. I use the @mac.com. In the mail account info window, it says next to both of them Mobile Me. I guess if i upgraded the mountain lion it wouls say iCloud.
So i have to delete these and then re-enter info to create the account. Am i correct in thinking that all my emails will still be stored on the server?
Another question- when i'm online looking at my mail, the folders i use are not there, just the stock folders it comes with. Will have to re-sort my mail once i've added my new account?
Thank you for any suggestions.
Lori.
