Try following the instructions in this related thread.

The problem is not with your password (or strength) but with the mail servers you are connecting to. Instead of using a pXX.mail.me.com it is more stable to use smtp.mail.me.com and imap.mail.me.com which are load balanced on Apple's server end to ensure reliability and speed. "boodaah" also explained this as well above.
