Not sure if this helps but been a mobile me user for a year now and this is my outlook 2007 settings:
Also worth noting I have seen in small print that iCloud will only work with Outlook 2007 & 2010
Account type: imap
Incoming mail server: mail.me.com
Outgoing mail server: smtp.me.com
- (I note that Apple's KB of this states: smtp.mail.me.com i.e. mine does not have "mail" in it).
User name: (_ _ _ _ _)@me.com (don't put in @me.com though)
Tick require logon using SPA

So far my account is still working but have not upgraded to iOS5 or iCloud yet as waiting for update to another program that I use to bypass iTunes for music importing.
Despite some positive reports in September, it looks like you won't be able to merge Apple IDs.
You can, however, set up iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Mac or PC to use two different accounts for iCloud and purchases:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
When you first set up your iOS 5 device, enter the Apple ID you want
to use with iCloud. If you skipped the setup assistant, sign in to
Settings > iCloud and enter the Apple ID you’d like to use with
iCloud. In Settings > Store, sign in with the Apple ID you want to use
for store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match).
You may need to sign out first to change the Apple ID.
Mac:
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Apple () menu >
System Preferences > iCloud. Enter the Apple ID you want to use for
store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in
iTunes > iTunes Store.
PC:
Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Control Panel >
Network > Internet > iCloud. Enter the Apple ID you want to use for
store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in
iTunes > iTunes Store.
Note: You can switch the Apple ID you use for
store purchases at any time. However, you can only change the account
you use for any iTunes in the Cloud features once every 90 days. See
this article for more information.

You say "computer" but don't specify what, I will assume that you mean you have a Mac also, in which case, on the assumption that you run Time Machine (please, everyone, make backups!) then offline copies should be in your backups.
