windows 10 email wont except mac password

I am running a iMac Pro with Windows 10 in a boot camp configuration. I had a Microsoft tech help me in setting up my Mac e-mail account on Windows 10 today. When signing in the error message tells me that the "password" is wrong. The MS tech told me it was a "password permission" problem that Apple needs to help me with?


There was a time when my Mac e-mail worked great with Window 10, about a year ago it quit working.

iMac Pro, macOS 12.1

If you mean your iCloud email account, you need to set up an app specific password for the email client to use.
