New acount in Mail for .me?

[skybolt]

I was thinking that I needed to make a new account in Mail on my computer for the new .me account. I have my .mac account set up, and any mail that is sent to .me seems to come through, but wondering about it having it own account. I actually got into the accounts, but it didn't seem like I could do it. Seemed like it just wanted to change my .mac account, and I'm not sure I want to do that -- or do I?

Does anyone know if (a) I do need to set this up, and (b) if so, the best way to go about this?

Thanks in advance!

You don't need a new account, It's all the same. What you can do though is put both your .me and .mac address in the "email address" field of the account settings, separated by a comma. That way when you send mail, you can choose which address the mail will appear to come from.
