Looks like I'm not able to get into the server. This on Thunderbird 52.1.1. get the following message -" Login Failed. Login to server imap.mail.me.com with username xxxxxx failed." Secondary error message is - "The server may have gone to sleep." I can add an account with no problem from another ISP. Problem seems to be with the .me iCloud account server.

If 2-step verification is in place, you have to create an app password for TB.

Your settings are correct, but I just pinged the server and it times out, so it appears to be a temporary outage.

I have the @me.com account on mail and it works fine there.

Did you recently apply 2-step verification to the account or create a new password?

I do have 2-step verification in place and have not recently changed the password. You think the 2-step verification would effect it?

Created a PW for Thunderbird .me mail account through 2-step verification and it worked. Thanks so much for the information and help. I will keep the information for if there are future issues.
