Aug 16, 2012 11:54 PM in response to dragonfly_12by Roger Wilmut1,The link posted above is useless as it is completely out of date.
You cannot migrate a MobileMe to iCloud: MobileMe is closed and the contents of all accounts have been deleted.
If you had a MobileMe account you can reactivate the @me.com address by signing into System Preferences>iCloud with it and enabling Mail in the checklist there (Lion 10.7.2 or above required, you cannot do this on older systems) or in Settings>iCloud on an iOS5 device. The address will work but the previous contents of the account will not appear. If you also had an @mac.com version of the address from being a long-standing MobileMe member you cannot reactivate that, only the @me.com address.

Aug 17, 2012 12:33 AM in response to dragonfly_12by Julian Wright,You've missed the 14 month transition period, which was from June 6th 2011 until July 31st 2012.
All accounts not migrated in that time have now been deleted.
