Nothing to do with your Lion upgrade, everything to do with your iCloud
upgrade. See the last line of this tech note (practically a throwaway sentence):
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
This is indeed sad news for those of us who a) use and love PowerMail, b) have
mac.com/me.com email addresses that we also use and love, and c) prefer to
archive our email on storage media that we own/control.
I'm guessing that Apple didn't have the twelve of us who fit the above profile
in mind when they designed iCloud.
The only options seem to be 1) start using IMAP (which is not PowerMail's
strong suit, and does cause some complications to my existing PowerMail email
archive workflow), 2) stop using my mac.com email address (not bloody likely,
since it's my primary contact email address for everything), or 3) use the
iCloud email forwarding settings to have everything forwarded to some other
(non-iCloud) account that still lets me use POP. These are not great options. I
have not yet made the iCloud upgrade, but obviously have to have some sort of
plan in place before the June deadline.
Farewell, iTools/.Mac/MobileMe; it's been...interesting.

I recently upgraded my computer to Lion (10.7.3) from Snow Leopard (10.6.8)
Under Snow Leopard, PowerMail was able to pick up messages sent to me at my
.mac.com and .me.com addresses. I have switched to iCloud, and changed my
settings. Now I can use PowerMail to send messages from me.com, but I can't
read messages arriving there. I get an odd error message:
me@imap.mail.me.com:993 closed the POP connection
OK iSCREAM ready to rumble (1H04:31234) st11p00mm-iscream004.mac.com
My settings in PowerMail are as follows:
Protocol: POP3
User account ID: leonardmorgenst...@me.com
Incoming mail server: imap.mail.me.com
Use secure connection: Checked
Use port 993
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanx

This is what worked for me:
Protocol: IMAP4
User account ID: midic
Incoming mail server: mail.me.com
On a dedicated secure port was checked.
However, the mail was sent to a separate set of mail boxes, not filtered into
my PowerMail boxes, where it was going under Snow Leopard.

I wonder what it would take for CTMdev to improve?
