Celebrate my liberation.
Ha!
I used to use MobileMe, didn’t need it, but a friend convinced me to get it. Then Apple shut down MobileMe, and started up iCloud. You have to be able to run at least Lion to even use iCloud. My Mac was built in 2006, and can’t run Lion, can’t use iCloud. So I didn’t sign up. Morning of July 1st, woke up to no email. It wouldn’t send, nor receive emails. My fault! I kept getting a window I’d never seen before, asking for my Macmail password. I started the account about 20 years ago, and had never been asked for my password. Can’t remember it, nor find where I wrote it down. Totally my fault!
So I go to the Mac site that lets you retrieve or change your password. No problem, except, they’ll only send the new/retrieved password to my mac mail account, which won’t freakin’ send or RECEIVE emails. Catch 22! I had to open a gmail account, and in comparison to macmail, gmail sucks, incredibly!
