MailMate does work with Apple’s app specific passwords, just don’t use the FQDN’d email address for username. Truncate the @me/mac/icloud.com and you’re good to go.
I don't know if app specific passwords trigger this to be important (it's a bit weird), but I think it actually correlates with some of the user feedback I've had in the past.
In any case, it's documented by Apple [here](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202304). It does sound a bit like they don't really know themselves what's going on: “Username: This is usually the name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not emilypar...@icloud.com). If your email client can't connect to iCloud using just the name part of your iCloud email address, try using the full address.”
It gets even weirder when reading the instructions for the SMTP username: “Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, emilypar...@icloud.com, not emilyparker)”
But as the developer of something as idiosyncratic as MailMate I really should not be the one to point fingers :)
