I have three email addresses and it seems like the default email app will let me send from only one .me account. I've tried adding another email and tells me "authentication failed." Is there another app I should use? I would like to send from all three email. Thanks!

You could try adding the accounts to GMail (you have to do this from a Browser, though). Set your GMail account to receive and send from a third-party account (you must have POP or IMAP access for this to work, though). That way you'll get your e-mails through GMail and when replying/composing it gives you the option of which account to send the message as.

That being said, I had no issues adding multiple accounts to my stock e-mail app. Sure, it's not iCloud ones, but I can still use two different Exchange accounts.

Same here - no issue with multiple Exchange and Gmail accounts. Maybe a limitation at Apple...having more than one Apple account per (non-Apple) device. That's typical Apple and wouldn't surprise me if that were indeed the case.

I can add other email addresses, it's icloud I'm having issues with. I came from the iPhone so it's hard to change email address after having it for so many years and very inconvenient.
I'll try the Gmail thing which I already knew about.

It's not an Apple "account," one you would log into your iTunes and app store with. It's an email address with 3 alias.

So, it's 3 aliases but essentially the same account? Maybe that's why you can't add them as separate accounts in your phone... I'm not sure, again, I have an iCloud account but I've never used it since I only activated it for my iPod (and now Spotify has rendered that account useless hehe).

Yeah, but are they three different accounts? When you say alias, are they just 'phantom' accounts? What I mean is, if you have three different e-mail addresses that doesn't mean you have three different accounts. It's like special phone numbers; you can a single number and that connects to different ones depending where you are or viceversa, have different convenient numbers that are all linked to the same corporate line. If this is the case, I'd assume you can only log in with your main account and only receive all e-mail from the aliases in there.
