Will I still be able to use my MobileMe email account? If I'm not interested in the Lion features and stay with SL I know MobileMe will terminate in the June timeframe. I want to confirm I can still use my email. Thanks
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.6)
Your email account will still be the same. You simply will not have access to the other iCloud options:

Frequently asked questions about the MobileMe transition and iCloud
MobileMe services that no longer sync after moving to iCloud

Thanks for confirming. With the less than luster reviews of Lion I think I will wait and see what ML produces.
I'm not sure what reviews you have read, but I've been using Lion since its release. I've installed it on six computers, four different models. I've not had any problems with it.
You can always install Lion on a separate partition or drive allowing you to test it out without compromising your Snow Leopard system.
Please note that if you migrate your MobileMe account on Snow Leopard your mail will stop working sooner or later. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:
