iCloud mail not working in Mail App on Lion

Earlier today, had no problem. Updated Lion, set everything up, followed the directions, received a "Welcome to iCloud" e-mail.

Two hours later, every time I try to access iCloud e-mail through the Mail app, I get a popup saying - "The iCloud IMAP server ?p99-imap.mail.me.com? rejected the password for user XXXXXXX." Obviously I reentered my password - double, triple checking - and the same thing happened. Went to the help section on the Apple website, followed the directions, still, same thing. My Gmail account is having no problem being accessed through the Mail app.

Anybody else having this issue? I'm going to assume it's a server overload and that after the craziness it will settle down, but checking here just in case. Thanks.

You're on to it. I got the same thing once yesterday... and several times this morning... seems to be OK now.
