Apple Releases macOS Mojave 10.14.5 With AirPlay 2 Support

Same. As an IT guy, after we got over the initial hump of a few of the new features, it’s been the easiest OS to manage thus far.
The bug was server-side and resolved by Google after a day or two. At least that was my experience. I have one Gmail account setup with IMAP and it's not giving me the infinite-login issue that said bug involved. However, the account is always offline unless I make it go online, which is annoying.
When it comes to supporting standards, Google can take a long walk off a short plank. IMAP is supported by thousands of email providers, but Google can't (or doesn't want to) get it right.
that's basically the only big thing I'm missing from MacOS at this point. I annoyingly have to AirPlay from my phone, and then use Spotify Connect on my Mac to control the music. Convoluted to say the least.
How do you have your account configured? Via the "Google" setup, or via IMAP?
It seems to be the IMAP setup that's problematic. I'm experiencing this daily "offline" issue since the release of 10.14.4. It was really bad immediately after the release, with an infinite-login issue preventing use of accounts. The issue eventually reduced down to just the account being offline unless you told it to go online. That's my current experience. My dozen other IMAP accounts (hosted elsewhere) work fine, only the Google-hosted account is being a nuisance. It worked properly before 10.14.4.
I wonder if there's a hidden agenda? A sneaky attempt to annoy Mac users into removing the account and accessing Gmail directly? I've had to do that with one of my accounts already. I have a dozen other IMAP accounts hosted at other providers that work just fine, and with Google's history of doing whatever they please, I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't a tactic.
So I installed this on my MBP, it restarted the computer 3 times (I thought it was 4...) which I thought was totally bizarre. I installed it on a loaner Mac, did the same thing, but I saw the firmware update screen.
Apparently there was a security fix for EFI, so this is normal. Really hope it doesn't freak out too many end users here
EDIT: It was 4 restarts. Jeez!

Re: gmail issue: to me, not fixed. I have seen where I have a very fleeting failed connection. Usually when deleting email or emptying the mail trash. See the little "disconnected" item flash for a moment and then back to normal.
Still seeing with this new update.
Only time see big time failed connection is after a wake from sleep. But even then, rarely.

My system is also reporting a "iTunes Device Support Update" that is available when checking for updates. Does the "macOS 10.14.5 Update" include this as well? Basically wondering if I can just install the 10.14.5 update to get both updates, or if I actually need to select both of them.
Thanks. I like to download once and install on 3 different systems. I really appreciate the dedicated community of Mac users on Mac Rumors.

Since it's not fixed, others probably more knowledgeable than I, believe it is a Google issue not Apple. Some say Apple is trying some work around when they call support but ultimately the issue is with Google on the server side.

I hope it finally fixes the T2-related issue(s).
Gmail _is_ the bug
Me too since the update for quite a few hours now - Mail is even opening at random like it always used to (Something to do with Gmail Calendars I believe...) - it had stopped doing that since the previous update when the bug first showed up.
Would much rather have the random openings than not getting notified about Mail. Much better.
Not seeing this issue at all with 10.14.5... it was an issue for me with 10.14.4.

I've updated two Macs (2015 iMac, 2018 MBP) without issue.
I only noticed this once after not touching my MacBook for almost a month. I contacted AppleCare and they did something because it never happened again. My wife’s MacBook and my work MacBook Pro have never had an issue with accessing the gmail mail server.
