Enter your name and email address in the next window. You will also need to enter an “application-specific password” in the “Password” field. This is not your regular Apple ID password, as Apple does not allow third-party applications to use your main password. Instead, you’ll need to generate a special password specifically for SerialMailer. You can find more information about creating an application-specific password on Apple’s website: https://support.apple.com/HT204397
