Getting server port 993 timed out on .mac using Mail

[markw10]

I have been having a problem with my .mac account for email since this morning. When I try to send or received email it says mail.mac.com at port 993 timed out. I have never had any issues before and my fiancee who also has a mac and is on the home network is also having the same error msg. I go to www.mac.com and don't see any error msgs listed for mac.com. I assumed at first it had to do with the Apple event this morning. Is anyone else having this problem? If not, is there anything wrong I could be doing to get this error msg?

Same here...seems to work about 1 time out of 10, if that. It's been that way all day.

Same problem here too. And again, it's been happening all day.

Can't get my .Mac mail through Entourage.

Works fine on web and iPhone.

Your .Mac account will expire in 28 days. Bastards know what a hassle it is to change email addresses.
