Your signature says you have 10.6.7 - is this correct? If so, and an iCloud account has already been set up (or you have migrated a MobileMe account) you can set Mail up to access your iCloud email by following the instructions here:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

No I have OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.1 so it did not solve the question of being unable to get incoming mail server on the account box and it stays blank.
Could I ask you to amend your signature - you can see why it's a good idea.
The first step for you would be to sign out in System Preferences>iCloud then sign back in again, enabling Mail and any other data types in the checklist there. This should set up Mail automatically for you - you shouldn't need to enter any settings yourself.
Your data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out, but will reappear when you sign back in.
