Why doesn't my iCloud mail work?

Question

Level 1

5 points

I changed my email user ID and all went well, Incoming Mail Server: SSL: ON / Outgoing Mail Server: SSL: ON

Created Account.

Checked Mail Preferences Accounts, Incoming Mail Server; greyed out (mail example.com) / Outgoing Mail Server: None

There's must be something I'm missing to make it right.

I plead for your help.

Thanks

Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)

Your icloud email isn't supposed to be setup manually on a system running mountain lion.

Go into system preferences, click the icloud icon, and check off mail there.

If you're trying to add an account associated with a different apple id, then set it up in mail, contacts and calendars and check off mail there.
