To access iCloud email from a 3rd party app you need to turn on two-factor authentication for your Apple ID if it is not already on and then use an app-specific password in that app rather than your usual Apple password. See instructions in Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support and Using app-specific passwords - Apple Support
