I can't get my @icloud account to be recognised by Thunderbird

I've downloaded Thunderbird and set up my gmail and tiscali accounts ok. They work fine. I can't get Thunderbird to set up my icloud account - it fails to recognise the servers. I've tried to set it up manually (using the info on the Thunderbird help page) with the same result. Should I be able to send/receive to an icloud address from Thunderbird? What do I try next?

There are people using Thunderbird for these accounts. One typical mistake is using @icloud in the username. They seem to only want the username and not the complete email address. The other one is getting the server names wrong.

Here are the Apple icloud recommended settings. Did you use these when doing the manual setup? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864

I did try manual setup using these settings but with the same result.
