Surely if you just put your mobileme username and password back into the system preferences panel everything should come back again? Probably wise to do a permission repair on your hard disk first, it weirdly seems to help in this sort of situation. The other culprit I suspect could be keychain, but as Im not a mobileme subscriber I'm not sure where it keeps its credentials stored.
