iCloud does not work with Thunderbird 7.0.1. Any resolution?

Migrated to iCloud from MobileMe and reset imap server and password on Thunderbird per Apple guidnace (article HT4864) for third party setup. Does not accept password or reach server. Webmail access to iCloud via browser works fine, so password is correct. Any resolution or ideas? Thunderbird worked fine with MobileMe. Can I go back to MobileMe until Apple gets this figured out? (windows 7 prof, TB 7.0.1)

icloud-OTHER, Windows 7

You see, that happens if one does not read the famous "minimum system requirements". They are not stated for joy and fun.


In other words :


on OSX Lion you must use iCal/Adress Book/ Apple Mail


on Windows Vista and Win7 you must use Outlook 2007 or 2010.


"Thunderbird" is just some "other" clients. And it is nowhere written that it is supported. Just like nowhere is written that XP or some older OSX is supported. Nex time read the requirements better.
