What's going on with Mail this morning?

I am having the same problem with one of my icloud addresses.

This appears to contain your answer:

which I copied from here:

I've been offline all day and am still offline now at 19:43hrs BST (London)

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do here - it appears to be a server problem which they are attempting to fix.

Yep, mine has been down all day.

I have been down all day...still down ...21:43 hours 11 SEP 2012

More than 24 hours without me.com. PLEASE fix it! How can we speed the repairs up?

Phone your server. You are not talking to Apple or your server here, just other users.

This is frustrating! Not able to get my emails for the past 24 hours. Apple is attempting to repair, but what is taking SO long???

No such problems here on three accounts.

Apple IS the "server." Their service has been down for over 24 hours, they've provided no explanation/concrete news of any sort, and this is THEIR message board, which they presumably monitor. It's a perfectly reasonable place to voice frustration and plead for a little responsiveness from the company. And honestly, I feel badly for you if you have so little to do that you choose to camp on a message thread about something that is not affecting you, passing judgement on the rationality of the messages therein. Go troll somewhere else--we have no mail, all over the world, and WE ARE ******.

I cannot believe it has been over 24 hours and Mail is still not working. Why the denial by apple and why this major issue receives so little coverage and support. They claim only 1.1% of users (me included of course) are experiencing this blackout, but boy, the damage and havoc this silent blackout has created.

Here is the latest update from Apple for anyone who is interested:

FWIW, the percentage shown has increased since yesterday.

My totally wild guess is that they are doing some sort of server overhaul ahead of the announcements everyone is waiting for today. All I will say is that I am glad I don't rely on it.

I for one rely on this email system and it has never failed me until now. Is there a person to contact to find out how long this will last?
