Thunderbird is saying login failed for server imap.mail.me.com. When I enter the valid Apple password for that email suffix, it fails. I don't know if it's a Thunderbird or an Apple problem. I am a computer idiot and would appreciate any help.

June 15. The day apple implemented mandatory 2 factor authentication. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204915 Contact Apple for support.

I have done the two-factor authentication thing and Tbird still will not accept password.

Try reading the linked article again. Read the part about app specific password. If you need help with anything further, contact Apple.
