Apple's mail system has a history of authentication flakiness, with periods where some nodes have required a bare username while others only work with the full email address as username. Also, they have been moving away from the mac.com domain for a while, and while I think mail.mac.com should still work, it's fast-flux DNS via Akamai is much faster (30s) than the {imap,smtp}.mail.me.com hostnames given at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202304 and that can cause glitches.

What are the optimal servers to use?

As it says on the linked page: imap.mail.me.com port 993 (imap+tls) to retrieve mail and smtp.mail.me.com port 587 (SMTP-based message submission with STARTTLS) to send.

Oh, I thought you were warning that the servers listed on the linked page were the ones NOT to use,
