    Hi ktkearney,

     

    Take a look at the article linked below, it outlines the usage of Apple email addresses with iCloud and should help.

     

    iCloud: About your @icloud.com, @me.com, and @mac.com email addresses

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2623

    Review these scenarios to see which one applies to you:

    • If you created an iCloud account on or after September 19, 2012, your email address ends with @icloud.com. Learn more about @icloud.com mail addresses.
    • If you created an iCloud account before September 19, 2012, or moved to iCloud with an active MobileMe account before August 1, 2012, you have both @me.com and @icloud.com email addresses.
    • If you had a working @mac.com email address as of July 9, 2008, kept your MobileMe account active, and moved to iCloud before August 1, 2012, you can use @icloud.com, @me.com, and @mac.com email addresses with your iCloud account.

    In each case, you can sign in to iCloud with either your @icloud.com email address or the Apple ID that you use with your iCloud account.If you created one or more email aliases for your account, be aware of the following:

    • You can change or delete an email alias, but if you delete an @mac.com or @me.com email alias, you can't add it back to your iCloud account.
    • You can't sign in to iCloud.com with an email alias. Sign in with your @icloud.com email address or the Apple ID that you use with your iCloud account.
