Have not been able to send email using Outlook for Mac 2011 since yesterday, get the message invalid username or password
iPhone 4, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
AH HA! Success! Seems persistence pays off, just kept entering the same details over and over and eventually it worked using the p06-smtp option. Also had outgoing port set to 587 and TLS and username without the @me.com.
Phew! Thanks for your help everyone
I'm still having trouble getting the p06-smtp option to work. I have added this server, made sure the port is 587 and taken off @me.com but so far no luck. How do you set TLS? I can see how you uncheck the SSL setting but does that make it default to the TLS? Thanks for help with this. I can't even access my mail from iCloud. It is driving me crazy!
Thanks b_chevy -
p06-smtp.mail.me.com
worked!
Thank you b_chevy!!! I have not been able to send email for 2 days. I could receive but not send, my husband has (had) the same problem. After changing my outgoing smtp to p06-smtp.mail.me.com everything now works. Because I was uncertain if you typed a zero or an O, I copied your text and pasted it in my Outlook account. This may help some people who are having problems with this solution. BTW we have PCs using Windows 7 and use Outlook 2007. It seems too coincidental that Apple sent us both emails 2 days ago saying that our iCloud storage had expired. We have had me.com email accounts for more than 3 years now so iCloud storage is supposed to be a free service. Do not understand the email they sent, but after that we lost the ability to send email until entering the new outgoing smtp information you provided. Thanks again.
It's clear that entering the following for the SMTP server name will resolve the Send issues (use copy/paste to get it correct): p06-smtp.mail.me.com
However, everyone should be aware of a bigger issue in that Apple has automatically billed $40 plus tax for iCloud storage (25 GB) upon our anniversary of signing up for iCloud. My apple account was billed on 9/30/2013. Previously, all loyal customers had received the storage for free, so the sudden billing is a shock.
You can downgrade the storage option, but I'm currently trying to "contact Apple within 15 days to get a refund in States where the law mandates." Good luck trying to get through all the customer service options to actually talk to someone to make the request.
It's obvious the mail sending affected many scores of people. The sudden charges for what once was free iCloud storage will impact many more...
Anyone else see those charges show up yet?

using p06-smtp.mail.me.com solved all issues with WIndows Phone and Surface Tablet. sending and receiving perfectly.. make sure to uncheck box of SSL and i used same username and password for both sending and receiving .. used xxxxx@me.com . thanks to all for tips.
Why do I need to duplicate the process again when it was already virtually impossible to reach anyone in the first place? And why does Apple charge $40 for iCloud storage when it had been free for years?

B_chevy....much appreciated mi amigo. I have been battling this for the past two days and your fix worked!
Thanks b_chevy!
Had the same problem as JPRichards17, had been going crazy for the last week, finally your solution of changing the server to p06-smtp.mail.me.com worked!
THANKS SO MUCH b_chevy! That worked and saved me so much grief! 🙂
Thank you, this seems to work for me also.
Very much appreciated
Not saying this will resolve everything but it should help
In Outlook click
File
Options
Add-ins
Click on iCloud Outlook Add-in
look towards bottom left for Manage
Click on COM Add-ins and select Disables Items and click go
Select Addin Icloud Outlook Add-in and click on Enable
You will need to close Oulook and WAIT about 30 seconds.
Restart outlook and the refresh button is back
Good luck
Still not working for me. I've tried for almost a week with the p06 setting and it seemed like it worked at first, but it's not working again. I have tried p01, made sure the SSL was unchecked in both cases. My user name is xxx@me.com, not the xxx alone. Should I keep trying?
Why doesn't Apple weigh in here?
Wow, no response direct from Apple.. I also started having this issue after upgrading storage.. Thanks for the fix b_chevy!
p06-smtp.mail.me.com
