My minimal Mutt configuration files for iCloud Mail and Gmail. Both require two-factor authentication, and app-specific passwords be generated. Notes: <username> refers to the email address prefix. editor can be any editor you choose but should, of course, be Vim.
set imap_user = '<username>'
set imap_pass = '<app-specific password>'
set smtp_pass = '<app-specific password>'
set smtp_url = 'smtp://<icloud email address>@smtp.mail.me.com:587/'
set from = '<icloud email address>'
set realname = '<full name>'
set editor = 'vim'
set folder = "imaps://$imap_user:$imap_pass@imap.mail.me.com:993/"

But, for now, the tool does everything I want it to do while retaining the flexibility and simplicity I envisioned from the beginning.
