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
on advanced tab:
outgoing server tab
my outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication: tick this
use same settings as my incoming mail server: click this
Advanced tab
Incoming server (IMAP): 993
Use following type of encrypted connection: SSL
Outgoing server (SMTP): 587
Use following type of encrypted connection: TLS
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.

The reason they both still exist is because they are still separate services being offered by Apple. Users of MobileMe prior to the announcement of iCloud paid a yearly subscription fee for the service. Rather than refund those customers, Apple will continue to offer the MobileMe services only to those subscribers who have an active subscription.
MobileMe stopped accepting new customers around June 2011. If I am not mistaken, it will be until June 2012 that those users will end their subscriptions. At that moment, all MobileMe services will stop functioning and I expect Apple to update OS X so that the MobileMe System Preferences panel will be removed.
This article by Apple contains more information on the transition from MobileMe to iCloud, as well as a comparison table that shows which MobileMe services will continue to exist in iCloud. The short version is that with the exception of iWeb publishing, MobileMe Photo Gallery and iDisk, the rest of the MobileMe features will be found in some way or another in iCloud. Hope this helps.
