iCloud Who still has a @mac.com?

[glenthompson]

My wife has one and uses it.

 

[ErikGrim]

Yes I have @Mac @me and @icloud

All it proves is you were dumb enough to buy iTools

I never paid for iTools and I still have all of those...?

 

[netnewswireuser]

@Mac is my main email for the last 18 years or so...

 

[MacsRgr8]

Absolutely!
Still have mine for my main address. Have it since iTools was introduced (the predecessor of dotMac and MobileMe)

 

[Beavix]

My @mac.com address is one of my two main email accounts.

 

[UltimateSyn]

My lawyer does. I complimented her on it the other day.

 

[djcerla]

Both .mac and .me, all still in daily use ?

 

[el gringo]

i have it and use it for some things

 

[idrewuk]

Same here! Still use it as my main email, and have done since the day I got it. Always intend to, as well!

 

[longdogs]

Still my primary account even though I have my own domain. Just short and snappy. I always think the Apple Store guys will think it’s cool - they never do sadly.

I get comments every time I give my @mac.com address in a UK Apple Store. I’d guess it’s not that common these days.

 

[mavis]

Still have it and still use it as one of my two primary email addresses.

 

[bookcase]

I've used @Mac since the beginning -- back when you used to pay for it.

 

[hagar]

Yes I have @Mac @me and @icloud

I have all three but never bought iTools. I did get .mac and later MobileMe.

 

[danbalsh]

Yep, had it since the iTools days, always makes me smile when I buy something from the Apple Store in person... and they ask for your email you often get a nod of respect.

 

[petvas]

Who is still using theirs?
Personally, I do every time I can. I love still having such a short name, and I hope that Apple keeps it supported for years to come.

I have a Mac.com address and I use it instead of the iCloud.com address.

 

[stocklen]

I do too - those of us old enough to have one have one...!

And, its my main email... my only email... the only email address I quote.... its my iCloud account etc etc etc

Why are we discussing it "being taken away".... how could they do that or why would they do that?

As @danbalsh just said... there is always a knowing look or acknowledgement that you are a very long standing apple customer if you have one.

 

[macintologist]

Me me me!

 

[Schismz]

You can still use your @mac.com email, if you were part of the .Mac service. The only thing they’re axing is MobileMe, my @me.com still receives, but it’s off my list of emails I can use to send.

Really? why? Mine works just fine. Had @Mac which still works but I haven't sent from it in years, have an @me which works just fine for send/receive and have received no notice from Apple that it's going to stop, @icloud works too of course.

The @me is just the shortest/simplest email I have, firstname@me.com. For the most part nobody really understands or remembers that this is one of Apple's domains, people often ask how to sign up for it, the answer being a time machine.

I do! However I use iCloud and just have the @Mac and @me sitting there. Honestly I really like iCloud and never use the other two.

 

[SirAnthonyHopkins]

I still only use my @me address. I missed the @Mac address by a whole week.

I missed it by a matter of weeks. Still use my me.com address as my main personal account.

 

[Macyourdayy]

Five of them, one is my appleid. One is my main alias, but have a couple of cute @me addresses.

 

[Ethanmenzel]

I still only use my @me address. I missed the @Mac address by a whole week.

OOF. That has got to hurt, man.

 

[UltimaKilo]

Yes, it's always been my email address and always will be. I never use @me or @icloud.

My @Mac account will always be my primary. Never thought anything special about it the way you guys do, though.

 

[wellander1]

I still use my @mac.com e-mail address.

 

[Macative]

Everyone who has @Mac also has @me and @icloud

Still use @Mac to this day.
