I've just installed Thunderbird for the first time, on Mac OS 10.12.6. I'm trying to set it up to work with my mac.com email address but I keep getting the message 'Configuration could not be verified – is the user name or password wrong?. I have double and triple checked and I know I have entered my password correctly; it works perfectly for logging into iCloud mail via browser, for example.
