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.
