E-mail not working after moving to iCloud

On my mac, I get the following message in Mail:


The iCloud IMAP server “p99-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password for user “jt1bates”

Enter your password again or cancel.


Even after I re-enter my password, I get the same message again.


Also - mail is not working on my iphone as well. Here I get the following message. It says the user name or password is incorrect.



What is going on?

I did the following and it started working again:


1) Right-clicked (control-clicked) on my .Mac/iCloud email account in Mail and chose "Export Mailbox..." to save it just in case.

2) Selected Mail...Preferences... in the menu and selected the iCloud account.

3) Clicked on the "-" (minus) button below the account list to remove the account and confirmed that I wanted to.

4) Clicked on the "+" (plus) button below the account list and entered my iCloud password.

5) Unchecked the boxes about contacts and calendars (those seemed to be working).

6) When I proceeded from there, the account came right back and all my emails downloaded back from the server.


All is good now.
