Although I have a MacBook Pro, I have never really got into iCloud or Mail (used the web location while I was away) but I have had to have an Apple Id which has been based on my only email address. So when I start to set up Mail for that email address it keeps telling me that an account is already set up. The only account there is the iCloud account.
So I suspect that because my email address is the basis for my Apple Id, it has effectively hijacked the mail address and prevents me from using Mail as I want - which is to have both mine and my wife's email accounts (POP3) set up feeding separate inboxes. We both use the same computer account.
I am not sure what is the best way forward? Another email app? Find another email address for my Apple Id? Some of the things I have read about Mail are not great but I do not use GMail so that is a help.
I would be grateful for any suggestions?
Thanks.
