Getting "connection to the server p04-smtp.mail.me.com on the default ports timed out"
Have tried on two different ISP's (home and office) with same result so I don't think it is a SMTP block.
Any suggestions?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
Problem appears to be fixed now.
Still not working for me if anything got worse.........
Apologies for my earlier note.I must say that it now does appear to be working
Yes, my email seems to be working again! Thanks, all!
The problem went away over the weekend.
Unfortunately the problem has returned this morning for me on my mac. Can send from my iphone. And from web. But not on my mac again.

I've been having a similar problem for the last week but without the specific p04 part:
Connections to the server “imap.mail.me.com” on the default ports timed out.
I'm not sure it is the same issue you guys were having but the main problem here was that the outgoing iCloud server kept showing as Offline in the list. After a bit of research, I went into the Mail preferences , opened the Edit Outgoing server list and noticed that the outgoing server was set to imap.mail.me.com. So I reset it to smtp and used all the settings from here:

and now everything seem to be working again. Hopefull this might help someone else.

Cannot send @me.com mail using the server iCloud.
