The fingers of your correspondents will thank you: your .Mac email address is now—optionally—one character shorter.
MacRumors reports—and I can confirm—that (most) users with @mac.com addresses can now receive email from their new @me.com equivalents. Basically: send an email to yourawesomename@me.com, and it shows up in your yourawesomename@mac.com inbox.

Does anyone know for sure whether the @mac.com addy will be available to new subscribers or is it only for those transitioning?
Mine is working.
