Getting server port 993 timed out on .mac using Mail

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?
