Confused approach to emails

Yesterday I received the below email. Why has Apple introduced so much confusion into the email process. The reason I signed up for a ***@mac.com about 8 years ago is because this is the email I wanted. I do not now want **@me.com nor **@icloud.com. It comes across as totally confused and offers no coherence to the end user. In addition it confuses people you are sending emails to as someitmes they receive messages from **@me.com and other times it comes from **@mac.com.


The introduction of iCloud and mobile seems to make life quite complicated now! So my quetstion is, can you delete the **@me.com and **.icloud.com email addresses?



All new iCloud Mail accounts now come with an @icloud.com email address. As an existing user, we'd like to offer you this new address as well. We have reserved username@icloud.com for you, and you can now use this address with your iOS devices and computers by following these simple instructions.

If you prefer, you can continue to use your current email address just as you always have.

No matter which address you use, you'll continue to receive all your mail, whether it's sent to your @me.com, @mac.com, or @icloud.com address.
