Anyone else having sudden incoming authentication errors with iCloud mail on Android?

I can send but not receive. I am using the stock Android e-mail client on my S4. Icloud mail has worked fine up until today. Today I cannot authenticate to imap.mail.me.com. I'm being asked for my password, which has not changed. Authentication fails regardless of security type selected, and I even tried also changing the port to 993 when trying TLS or TLS (accept all certificates). System status page says e-mail is in the green.

iCloud mail-OTHER, Other OS, Android 4.3 on Samsung Galaxy S4

hi all it fixed itself yesterday after a much frustrating day talking to apple and verizon techs... seems that apple upgraded their servers...so im blaming it on a glitch rather than children fighting over copywites and who invented the glass first...it happened again today at 7pm pacific time...it seemed to correct itself within an hr... this may be for a few days...if not, its back on the fone to apple yet again lol the whole thing is very very annoying.
