I just wanna make sure not to delete it accidentally, in case it gets filtered out by my superstrict rules.

Got my invite about 5 hours ago. Just got home to check it out.
It's gonna take a bit of time to set it how I want it, but at least Apple is expending some effort in trying to make it work better.
SSL is great, but it never should have taken this long to implement.

I'm wondering if Apple is planning (at some future date) to get rid of the mac.com addresses.
I went to the Account section of my MM and clicked on the Summary page. At the top, instead of my usual "...@mac.com" address it's now "...@me.com". My mac.com email is still getting delivered, but is mac.com now being translated to me.com across the board?
I haven't received an invite, but just logged into my account at work and it's the Beta version! It's going to take some getting used to as it feels entirely different to me. One thing I instantly like is that I can see which of my email addresses the incoming emails are directed to...

Are people not getting any invites? I requested the second I heard, and I've got nothing. 
Any idea why I haven't? Did they stop letting people into the beta?

You are not alone.
I wonder if it has anything to do with Family accounts. I have a family account, signed up when right away... nada.
Mail Rules and Push notification
I have been waiting to be able to use Mail Rules for organizing my mail ever since MM was released. I was really hoping that when they did release it they would make them usefull. At this point they don't indicate you have mail in those folders on the Web Interface (this I was not expecting) and they don't show it in the iPhone (this I was expecting). Having to go into each sub-folder to see if you have mail in that folder makes this useless. Maybe the final release and a new iPhone release will be better. Hope so. With Google Sync on the iPhone you can say which folders other then the Inbox to check for new mail.

Correction. While in MM Web Interface and a new message came in I did notice the badge on the sub-folder change. So maybe I jumped the gun on that one. However, still need that to happen on the iPhone and iPad.
Yep, same. Really frustrating since I use the webmail interface a lot during the week (from work).
My email notice came yesterday to my me.com email address. The next time I logged in I was on the new beta version. My primary email address is not the me.com address. Anyway, there was nothing for me to do once I was switched over.
Just received my beta invite! on first look, it looks much improved. speed is a lot better
Can you expand on the rules being limited? I cannot personally think of when I need to do more that the three options available but would like to know what else you need what feature request you sent in?

I have had alot of UI bugs, but this web app is super fast.
I submitted comments about the lack of filtering and labels.
This is a big jump compared to the old web app, which finally makes this useful.
When logging in again, it will pick up from the folder you were last viewing which makes this much more usable.
I expect a launch with the 4.0 iPhone OS mail upgrade, and a big push for MobileMe on the iphone.

Just got my invite and its very nice. I do however wish i could make the reading pane on the bottom ;(
Well, the thing is that I receive about 500-600 junk messages daily. The majority is sent to my mac.com address. So the only rule to help me sort out my mail is as follows:Just received my beta invite! on first look, it looks much improved. speed is a lot better

If ALL of the following conditions are met:
1. Sender is NOT in my Address Book
2. Sender is NOT in my Previous Recipients
Perform the following actions:
Move message to Junk mailbox.
It's a pretty basic rule, innit? The problem with MobileMe Mail is that one can't even move unwanted mail to Junk mailbox, let alone filtering out one's address book contacts and previous recipients. So that's why for me, Rules are very very limited, pretty much useless.
P.S. My feature request was pretty simple: implement ALL of the desktop Mail's Rules.
