Yes. Hopefully, you are aware that MobileMe is going away... :-) iCloud does not provide a replication of all previously available MobileMe Services.
iChat 5.0 Help
============
iChat in Lion is 6.0 and greater. So basically, Lion users/iCloud users are non encrypted.
Sorry for failing to note iChat in Lion is 6.0. The links I provided are for technical clarity for folks where some of those are still relevant to iChat 6.0, but Knowledge Base Articles are not currently present for 6.0.
iCloud does not provide a replication of all previously available MobileMe Services. Users on Lion are encrypted with steps and use as noted below.
You may have missed it in my last message.... I included notes for "OS X Lion" for each scenario in that message... 1) iChat Client "A" <===> iChat Client "B" (direct Point-to-Point)
... *OS X Lion": Use FaceTime to perform the same encrypted Audio/Video between OSX/iOS clients
*** This provides full end-to-end encryption
2) iChat Client "A" <== "AOL" ==> iChat Client "B" Select "Use SSL" setting in Preferences->Accounts->Server Settings to encrypt channel This is the same as having a Browser-based SSL communication AOL Servers can access content, since this is comms between Client-Server
*** This provides full "channel" encryption
3) iChat Client "A" <== Jabber Server ==> iChat Client "B"
*** This provides full "channel" encryption
