I'm trying to add my me.com account on thunderbird. All the information is correct, I've tried everything on the forums. It comes up with the error "Component returned failure code: 0X80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nslMsgAccountManager.creatIncomingServer]"

In setting up my Email Address I used this Information

My Current Email Address My Current Password (Both work, I use them to get in my web based email account)

Protocol:IMAP Hostname: imap.mail.me.com Port: 993 Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication Password: Normal Password Username: name as used before the @me.com without the @me.com

Outgoing Hostname: smtp.mail.me.com Port: 587 Connection Security: STARTTLS Authentication method: Normal Password Username: my name with @me.com (__________@me.com)


Please note I've also tried this entire process with icloud.com...many times. I attached the picture below of the error as it's Checking the password.

I don't know what else to do.

I use Windows 11 Version of Thunderbird is 115.4.3 (64-bit) at the time of this writing, it is up to date.

This article suggests you need to generate an app-specific password to use in TB instead of the regular account password:

I suggest including full email address on incoming. If this is failing during setup, I suggest omitting password until connection to server is confirmed.

Thank you David and sfhowes for your replies. Yes sfhowes, it was the app-specific password that did it. It works well now.
