my Apple ID is ...@mac.com -- can I use it with iCloud? When .Mac first came out I signed up for trial and got "myname"@mac.com

I never did subscribe to .Mac or MobileMe, but it appears I still "own" that email address because I just logged into iCloud with with "myname"@mac.com as my Apple ID.

Is there a way for me to use/send/receive mail with that email address?  When I try to set up iCloud/Mail with this email address it doesn't seem to take it.

Any ideas?
According to apple's FAQ (you can find it here:http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html)


  Can I keep my MobileMe email address once I move to iCloud? Yes. If
  you have an active MobileMe account when you sign up for iCloud, you
  can keep your me.com or mac.com email address and any email aliases
  you have created and move your MobileMe mail, contacts, and calendars,
  as well as your bookmarks, to the new service. When you're ready to
  make the move, go to www.me.com/move.
