Hello E.T.,

Okay, although I am not certain as to why you have not had to do this with your 
various email aliases, my suggestion is that you need to generate an 
app-specific password in order to be able to use the outgoing iCloud servers 
with Thunderbird.

A quick Google search will provide the steps on how this is done.

Subject: iCloud.com Email Addresses

Hello all,
  This question is for those who use iCloud.com addresses. If you use both the 
primary address and an alias in a third party mail client, any issues?

   Right now I'm using Thunderbird on Windows. I have a couple aliases, no 
problem there. But I also want to use my primary address. When I try to send or 
reply from this primary address it fails with an SMTP error. 
The gist of the error message is that the primary address needs to match same 
in the account settings. Any ideas? Thanks.
