Hi Folks,
does anyone know how to generate an app-specific password for a custom domain email address?
I'm trying to set up my custom domain email address in Thunderbird, but I am unsure of how to create an app-specific passwords.
I can set up regular iCloud or me mail an using app-specific passwords without any issues.

Thanks,

Custom domain addresses are just aliases to your primary iCloud account, so just setup Thunderbird with that and the app specific password you created, then add the custom domain address as an alias in Thunderbird account settings > manage identities.
