The company confirmed through continually updated reports that as of 3:03 p.m. PDT, iCloud's mail service was experiencing issues, saying that "users may be unable to access iCloud mail" and that "normal service will be restored ASAP." All other services are said to be online.
The report comes after readers alerted AppleInsider of problems occurring in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region, though at the time Apple claimed the issues were affecting less than 1 percent of iCloud's installed user base.

[things not to do when posting the above today: forgot my password and asked to have it sent to me at my mac.com address -- had to grab another Mac to figure out my appleinsider password, because it's sure not getting here via iCloud any time soon... sigh]

My me.com mail is my primary business and has been for years....I am sure this has already cost me several clients!
This is a major issue!!
Mail out for me in Southwest michigan, but not for my wife and mother-in-law who are here also... Last mail sent or received was on monday evening.
After almost 2 days without access to our mail accounts, we really consider to change to a more reliable provider.
