Hello, You do not need a MobileMe account. I just set my iCloud account up and it works just fine. You need to confirm your email before it's written in stone. If someone else has the same [email protected] address, you will need to choose another one. Also, remember that this is a one-time thing. Once your email has been accepted, you cant use it again on another me account. Even if you delete your me account and start over, you will have to select another email address. HTH.
