The outage began at 5:06 a.m. Pacific Time, and affected users may not be able to access their mail until the issue is resolved, which is the same problem that the service was having yesterday.

Yeah I was going to say, Apple Mail has been working fine for me - I saw the notices about the outage but never had an issue. I have about 5+ emails going to my Apple Mail. (Domain through Apple, Fastmail, Gmail, etc).
