Make sure you are not affected by a bug in one of the recent test 
versions. This bug could roll back your IMAP settings to something that 
didn't work in the past (and therefore you changed it). For iCloud 
accounts this could be the use of a full email address as username 
instead of only the username part of the email address.

Off topic: I guess Apple Mail uses “AUTH=ATOKEN” to login. I'm 
offline at the time of writing this and cannot look it up, but I do know 
it is not supported by MailMate.

When authentication fails then MailMate keeps on asking. I did make some 
recent changes to password handling which means I'm not ruling out any 
new bugs.

If you still cannot make it work then let's debug the issue off list.
