Thunderbird does not send emails from my @me.com (apple) account.
Hello,
I have installed the latest version of Thunderbird and set up my email account "@me.com" I can download emails and syncing works well, but I cannot send emails from Thunderbird. I have read various forums and tried numerous tips and suggestions to solve the problem but none of them work for me. Please see the attached picture of the error message I get. I have Thunderbird Version 115.2.3 (64-bit) on Windows 10 Enterprise 10.0.19045 I appreciate your help on fixing this issue since I really want to use Thunderbird, but without the ability to send email it is unfortunately not an option for me.
Many thanks in advance, René

SMTP settings:
- SMTP Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
- Port: 587
- Connection Security: STARTTLS
- Authentication Method: Normal Password (use this setting but enter app specific password)
- Username: Type your full email address
Password: Logon to your webmail account - switch on 2FA and create an app specific password to use in Thunderbird. I believe the normal password will no allow access to smtp server.
Then update the stored password in Thunderbird.
- Settings > Privacy & Security
- Passwords section
- Click on 'Saved Passwords'
- Click on 'Show Passwords'
- Right clickon relevant lines and select 'Edit Password'
- Remove the normal password completely and then enter the app specific password
- Click 'Close'
