We can try taking MailMate out of the equation. Use Terminal to connect to the server like this:

        openssl s_client -connect imap.mail.me.com:993

When it has connected then write the following with your login details:

        0 LOGIN username password

I have no problems with my own account, but I do not have two-step verification enabled.

Well it looks like Apple is the problem, I've filed a support ticket with them.

Whether I use my iCloud regular password or a brand new App-Specific password I get

    0 NO [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] Authentication failed

after the '0 LOGIN myusername password' entry.

I've so stumped the Apple support team that I've been passed to an escalation team, spent 45 minutes on the phone with them and now I'm due for a callback the next day.

Thank you for the suggestion about using the openssl connect, it cut through a lot of potential finger pointing by Apple Support and squarely demonstrated the issue was theirs.
