Q: p99-imap.mail.me.com iCloud DOWN!!!

same problem here!!

Same problem here

Cant access Mail through my desktop or online.

Same as well...

I dident notice till my girlfriend texted me asking what was going on....

Must be updating the servers and blew something

Same here.....

I requested a service phone call at 3:30pm... i guess they know what I wanna talk about today!

Last time this happened I was on hold for over an hour on the phone to Apple Support only to be told... try logging in later. Not good.

Yep down

Annoying!  iCloud is raining on my parade today!

There should be absolutely no reason for iCloud IMAP server “p99-imap.mail.me.com” rejected the password!  If nothing has changed since going to iCloud and getting mail on iMac, MacBook Air, iPhone, iPad -- get with it Apple and keep the system integrity where it should be - perfect.  Looks like I have to wait to see what happens later since I know my password for your system is correct.

Any of the servers with names preceded by P99 or P1 or P01 etc were temporary servers setup during the initial launch, the real servers have no numbers.

Change to imap.mail.me.com

Same problem here (Gouda, The Netherlands). Did a check on www.icoud.com. Same problem there. Hope it will be fixed soon.

Last few days I noticed iCloud-server was very slow when handling e-mail.

how do you do this? In my mail preferences that bit is greyed out!

Come on guys ...

I'm not one to usually complain, but this is getting ridiculous.

I've been using this account since the iTools days, and it's continued to get more and more UNstable as the years march on.

... and the fact that Apple's chosen to transform a paid-for service into a free one is no excuse.

I was hoping for a complete do-over with iCloud, but it's just more of the same.  Same poor engineering as MobileMe, built on the same lousy mail server product (Netscape iPlanet SunONE Oracle Messaging Server).

We're marching closer and closer to turning my @mac.com address into just a forwarding address somewhere else.
