If you are a .Mac subscriber, Apple appears to have activated the corresponding @me.com email addresses. If your email address was username@mac.com previously, you can now use username@me.com and emails should arrive in your .Mac mailbox.
The @me.com transition is part of Apple’s shift to MobileMe, a new web-based service that offers “desktop class” email, calendar and address book functionality. MobileMe is set to officially launch in early July.
A sensible move on Apple’s part is that mac.com email addresses will continue to work in parallel into the indefinite future. So messages sent to <user>@mac.com will show up when checking the <user>@me.com account, and vice versa.
One place where the two addresses will serve as two different identities is iChat. And while a mac.com address continues to work with iChat even if the subscription is allowed to lapse, Apple has warned that a me.com address will only work with iChat while the MobileMe account is active.
