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 wonder what it would take for CTMdev to improve?

I strongly would second a submission to CTMdev on how to better integrate
mac/me mail with PowerMail.
I have use PowerMail to read my gmail and earthlink email; I had been using
Mail to read one account that was on an Outlook server. Now I am using it for
mac.com email as well, and it leaves a lot to be desired.
On the OSXlist, I see confusion about implementing Spam Sieve with Mail,
looking for a way like PowerMail to mark spam. I find that Mail gives me a
signal that there is mail (red dot in the upper right corner of the Mail icon)
but that can apply to spam that Mail has not downloaded. The only way to clear
that to try to keep the signal meaningful is to go to the Cloud via the web
browser and delete the spam that hasn't been sent.
GRRH. I used to check online about every 2 weeks for spam to be sure that
nothing was caught that should not be. But now that incoming mail notification
alert is meaningless!.
CTMdev, please hear our cry.

User of PowerMail seems like forever, but I did use Claris Emailer before
PowerMail.

Perhaps, Jérôme or Jean Michel will take a look at the situation and let us
know.
