How to get a matching @icloud with free @me account

My apple account was made way back in the day with a gmail account. I signed up for a free @me account with my iPhone 4s. Is there a way to get a matching @icloud.com account? I tried sending myself an email to that account but it doesn't work. However I am able to recieve iMessages and FaceTime calls to that account, just not send email nor receive email from @icloud.

iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 6

To be honest your me and icloud is the same account, just with different aliases.

So yøu will be able to have people to send mails to both, but receive those at same place.

When you send youself - me.com is used cause account is still same, just has two names.

New accounts are created with icloud.com and everyone wants me.com or mac.com and can't get.
