All correct except that SSL works fine for incoming.
To add to this, if using aliases, one must set up the account in TB for the primary iCloud address. Then with this new account in focus, in the right pane at the very bottom is the Manage Identities button. There you will add your aliases and you also can add signatures to each one.
Its been a couple weeks but I think I selected the main alias in iCloud Mail on the web which is the default address in the To field when compsuing a new email. Its a list from which you can choose a different alias if you wish.

Not sure if this will be helpful but since it's Apple related thought I'd share this. Hi all I got iCloud to work in Thunderbird the mail account that is. Here are the generic settings. Note only Imap is supported, no pop I'm afraid. Incoming server: imap.mail.me.com port: 993 ssl required: yes Username: first part of iCloud mail address. Note any errors try startls instead. Outgoing server: smtp.mail.me.com port: 587 ssl required: yes authentication required: yes Note any errors try startls instead. username: your full iCloud mail address. Hope this helps any who wants to use iCloud mail on unsupported devices including email clients such as Thunderbird.
