Is mac.com different from icloud.com email

I am trying to fix mac.com (or me.com) email issues on my Mail.app but find that the PW is different from the iCloud password.


This is NOT email@icloud.com this is email@mac.com or me.com that I have had for ages.


I believe I did set it to be the same password, but how did I do that? i can't find the place to do it now. Plus it is different on my keychain for the imap server.

Mac OS X (10.6.8), and 30 other Macs...

Mac mail addresses where migrated to icloud.com when the Mac service was discontinued. All @mac.com addresses are now handled thorugh the iCloud service.
