The iCloud IMAP server “p99-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user XXXX

My e-mail is now working again from all platforms.

OS X and IOS Mail clients both still broken for me. "password incorrect" on both apparently.

Any clues welcome.

You may fix it by adding "@me.com" after your USER NAME on

Mail > Preference pane > account tab > user name: field.🙂

ex)

user name: tim_cook >>>> user_name: tim_cook@me.com

I'm in the same boat

I had the same problem, but when I entered my email password insead of the iCloud password, it worked.

Add me to the list. What a pile of poop

Add me to the list. Still not working on my Mac. Tried straight username and username@mac.com with no joy.

After a day of not working, this evening its been great until ten minutes ago and the problems started again.

I deleted my account in mail>preferences. Added a new account (xxxx@me.com). On the incoming mail server, I typed in imap.me.com (which it automatically changed to p99-imap.mail.me.com). As soon as I accepted that info, mac mail was recognized immediately and all my mail was downloaded.

IT'S WORKING! (For now....)

Me too. Have never had access to what was my .mac mail since transferring to iCloud. Picking up exchange server mail OK. Also have multiple calendars missing...

Updated my username in thew account preference pane by adding @me.com, saved the change, closed down Mac mail. Restarted mail & it works fine.

I, too, have huge problems with Mail. It works on and off on all my devices (and the web), so when I move mail between folders, they very often get stuck. Things get really messy, when I make changes to my mailboxes on multiple devices, and eventually several mails have disappeared into 'the cloud'. Really frustrating 😠

My mail is working on all devices the only difference in the settings was now icloud uses Password for authentication than apple token. See below.

Okay people,

I had al sorts of problems here... but things are normal now. To sum up:

- iCloud mail doing well on WEB and iOS5 devices; just recreate your account in the devices and you are good to go;

- IMAP access using Outlook 2010 need the following settings:

IMAP

imap.mail.me.com

port 993

SSL

SMTP

smtp.me.com

port 587

TLS

- Thunderbird will need to change a settings in the config editor (follow this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3383023?answerId=16371846022#16371846022)

Just a remark... imap.mail.me.com was unresponsive some hours today, and smtp.mail.me.com is not responding at all, this is why smtp.me.com is still working.

I have the same problem as the OP.
