If you have not moved your MobileMe account to iCloud at this time you must have a good reason. Most likely because not all your devices are iCloud compatible. MobileMe email will still be working with non-iCloud-ready devices after June 30th, 2012.
iCloud requires iOS 5, OS X Lion, Windows 7 or Vista SP 2. If you can’t upgrade, you can keep using your mail on incompatible devices.
MobileMe is set to end on June 30th, 2012. Users are advised to move the MobileMe account to iCloud.

One nice feature of Yahoo! Axis is the ability to View Page As Desktop.
In Safari, iCloud.com automatically redirects to an iPad-specific page. Yahoo! Axis can load the desktop version of iCloud.com. That means any of your friends can borrow your iPad to check his/her iCloud email.
Wait a minute…
I received a copy of Snow Leopard in the mail so that I can move my MobileMe account to iCloud. A Snow Leopard 10.6.3 DVD and a thick multi-language Software License Agreement booklet are packed in a brown padded envelope.
I personally will move my MobileMe account at the last moment possible because I still have some Macs that will never be able to run OS X Lion ever. Namely the PowerPC based Macs. In the meantime, I have been using a different iCloud account since Summer 2011.
Apple is committed to keep MobileMe service until June 30th, 2012.
I have not moved my MobileMe account to iCloud yet for many reasons. Anyway, Apple offered me a free copy of Snow Leopard so I can upgrade to Lion. I already have OS X Lion on one of my Macs, but that’s beside the point. Let’s say I’m doing this for science.
Apple is mailing a copy of Mac OS X Snow Leopard to me and sent me the following email:
1. Get your free DVD of Snow Leopard
After you install Snow Leopard on your Mac, run Software Update from the Apple Menu to get Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with the Mac App Store.2. Next, upgrade to Lion
Open the Mac App Store from the Dock and purchase Lion for $29.99.* The installer will download to the Dock and automatically launch.3. You’re ready to move to iCloud
Your Mac is now ready for iCloud. Visit me.com/move from a Mac or PC to make the move to iCloud.
Apple adds iCloud support for AirPort Base Station and Time Capsule with the release of Firmware Update 7.6.1 on Monday January 30th, 2012.
About AirPort Base Station and Time Capsule Firmware Update 7.6.1
This update is for all 802.11n AirPort Express, 802.11n AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule models. It fixes an issue with wireless performance and provides support for remote access to an AirPort disk or a Time Capsule hard drive with an iCloud account.
Apple also released AirPort Utility 6.0 for Mac OS X Lion and AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion.
Currently Time Capsule, Airport Extreme and AirPort Express do not have iCloud support. This means iCloud users can not access any AirPort Disk remotely. MobileMe service will be shut down in June 2012 and Apple has yet to mention if iCloud would support AirPort Disk.
