Yes, I’m doing something similar and it is now working. Perhaps part 
of the problem is that the Fastmail screenshot of the Mailmate account 
settings is different (no pwd field) from that of Mailmate itself. When 
prompted for the password you will need to enter in the Fastmail 
‘app’ password you will have set up - <https://blog.fastmail.com/> - 
and ask for it to be saved to your Mac’s keychain (prompting occurs 
for both map and smtp accounts).

I could go on but won’t
