Your profile shows OS 10.5.8 - you might want to update that.
Did this just start?

Troubleshooting sending email messages
As of this morning I cannot send email from my iCloud IMAP account on my iPad Air, my iPhone 5, or my Mac Mini over our Time Warner Internet connection. However, if I turn off Wi-Fi on my iPhone 5, I can send email as usual over the Verizon cellular network. Same with my iPad Air, when I use the iPhone as a hotspot. Same is true at my office and at Starbucks. I can send email using our EarthLink account from all devices over our Time Warner Internet, but not the iCloud IMAP account. I have an iPhone 5C at the office. Same with the 5C. With a Wi-Fi connection I cannot send email. With a cellular connection email sends as usual. I can recieve email normally even over Wi-Fi.
Same issue here. Just started today. More people confirming it in this thread:

Cannot send any me.com, mac.com, icloud.com emails using iCloud mail servers. iPhone also affected. iCloud mail cannot be sent. We need help.
I am having exactly the same problem.
I get the message that the connection to the server "po4-smtp.mail.me.com" failed. Servers can be configured in Settingsd> Mail etc.
I did configure and all seems fine.
I have the same on my Ipad.
as far I can see it is not an update problem. I have the latest form mac. marverick installed.
Also..then I sould not have the problem on my Ipad?
I read there are more poeple with the same problem..might be a "cloud" thing?
Thank you

p04-smtp.mail.me.com seems to have gone down but no way of definitively getting the status. Another account in our household uses the p07 server and this is working, so it is deffo something to do with the p04 server that is causing the issue.
Having the exact problem as all of you. All is fine with all of my internet and iCloud services, except I cannot send email through my Time Warner home wifi connection. This is on my iPhone5, iPad Air and iMac, all with the latest updated software. I can send email, however, through Verizon and on Starbucks wifi. Also, like another comment in this thread, my wife's iCloud email sends just fine on our home wifi, and she has all the same devices, setups and configurations as I do. This appears to be an Apple system problem, let's hope they fix it soon!
With me it is also on the computer which in not going with wifi, direct connected. Also my husband, no able to send mail. I use my gmail account, which works fine, I only never really use that one.
Problem appears to be fixed now.
Mine just started working as well.
Mine too! Thanks for who ever did this :-)
