Email Address
Apple offers an email address as part of each iCloud account. Of course, you already have an email account. So why bother? The first advantage is the simple address: YourName@me.com. (It may look like what you’ve got is YourName@icloud.com, but mail sent to YourName@me.com comes to exactly the same place. These addresses are aliases of each other.)
Second, me.com addresses are integrated into OS X’s Mail program, as you’ll see in Chapter 11. You can also read your me.com email from any computer anywhere in the world, via the iCloud.com website, or on your iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad.
Besides, it’s always great to have a backup account, one you never enter on websites so that it never gets overrun with spam. Or vice versa: Let this be your junk account, the address you use for online forms. Either way, it’s great to have a second account.
To make things even sweeter, your me.com or iCloud.com mail is completely synced. Delete a message on one gadget, and you’ll find it in the Deleted Mail folder on another. Send a message from your iPhone, and you’ll find it in the Sent Mail folder on your Mac. And so on.
