Does Apple still have their email service?
Of course! I have several DOTmac addresses which also work with DOTme (which I still think sounds egotistical!). I think they only allow five aliases but with two different TLDs I have plenty! If you never registered for DOTmac, you'll be limited to the DOTme type.
