I've been much frustrated by Apple's dropping my .mac account and the
subsequent hassles of using online icloud mail with OS 10.4. So I was
very happy to see the postings here that I could get my
Apple mail to my desktop via an IMAP account. I just want to let the
members of this support group know that you have really helped me and
that I appreciate it.
BTW, for years I had a paid .mac account ($100.00/year) and I wonder
why Apple couldn't have notified me that I could switch over to an
IMAP account instead of just dropping me? When they switched to
iCloud I just got a .mac screen saying .mac no longer works. Rather
lame way for Apple to handle a paying customer when there was a good
(IMAP) working solution available.

So, having never really preferred web-based email, now that I can
access my email AT ALL from my Mac, is it possible to treat it as a
POP account and resume using Mail? My OS is 10.4.11.

These instructions are for Leopard and Snow Leopard, but since
it's for setting up iCloud as a straight IMAP mail account it
should work in any version of OS X.
Running OS X10.4.11 I've been using Apple's Mail client, Mail, with
iCloud since the demise of MobileMe.
Set up for Tiger is detailed here:

Make sure your Apple ID Password is at least eight characters, of
which at least one must be a numeral and one a capital letter!
