Unable to setup an account in mail for my .mac address I have had a .mac email address for years but have not been able to get it set up in mail for some time on any machine or phone. I go into accounts, add new account, enter email address (which is the one for my apple id) and my apple id password which I have treble checked is the correct one and I get "Unable to verify account name or password". Are .mac email addresses obsolete? Is there a different password for the email and apple id? If so where do I change it and if it depends on my getting emails to the .mac address that is not going to work. Do I have to create an icloud email and if so do I then have to go an change the email on my apple id to the icloud email and change all the logins where I have used the .mac address? Spent the afternoon on this task that should be soooo simple and admitting defeat. Anyone any suggestions or information?

Apple MAIL email accounts The language regarding 'account' on Mail on OS X is confusing. Is it possible to set up TWO apple email accounts on Mail, for example bozo@icloud.com and theclown@icloud.com? And when I try to do that, I am asked to sign in using my AppleID. When I do, my password is not recognized. Apple support does not seem to have a ready answer that I can find. Does anyone actually use Apple Mail on a macbook?

Have you tried adding the account to Mail/Preferences/Accounts by clicking the + sign at the bottom of the account list?
