I talked with ATT customer support.  They recommended changing the IMAP
port from 993 to 995, which made things worse: not even an error; the
connection just hung.  Then changed back to port 993, clicked "Forget
Password", and entered the old password again.  IMAP seems to be
working for now.  Note that restarting the system (twice) didn't
help.  Strange.
