Q: iCloud outgoing email stuck in outbox

I have a 32 GB, WiFi-only, iPad 2.  I have multiple email accounts on the iPad, but lately my iCloud email account refuses to send emails.  The email messages essentially get stuck in the outbox.  The pinwheel spins for a time before a red exclamation point shows up.  When I click on the exclamation point, I receive a message indicating "the connection to the outgoing server 'p05-smtp.mail.me.com' failed.  Additional outgoing mail servers can be configured in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars."  None of the other accounts on my iPad experience this problem.  Meaning, I can send and retrieve messages from the other accounts without fail.  Plus, my iCloud account receives email messages just fine.  The problem only seems to relate to messages that I send via my iCloud account.  I've seen a few posts about this problem on this and other sites, but none seem to identify a solution to this issue.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

iMac - Intel, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Mail 4.5, iPad 2
