I have an myname@me.com mail-address. Suddenly sending stopped working. I cannot get it working again.
I use a MBP Pro M1, with Ventura 13.0.1, mail version 16.0.
In the server list it states iCloud (offline)
Trying to send it; mail asks for my password. When I give it; it states: check account name and/or password failed...
Sending mail with my iPhone or online at iCloud.com works as usual.

Well, finally I got it back working again. After a few phone calls with the very friendly Apple support! We did a lot of these; but what finally got it working again: totally logging out of iCloud on my MBP and loggin in again.
My problem is solved!
Thanks everyone!
