Catalina, iMac, apple mail, and GOOGLE Gmail

[jlabenberg]

Good day!

I know for quite a while - sometime back in a prior iMac OS update - the regular APPLE mail stopped playing nicely with GOOGLE gmail...the whole GMAIL/GOOGLE authorization fiasco!

Well, now my iMAC 27" late 2013 is running Catalina - and while I've used other apps to read my email - I still like the apple email - and I use it on my iPhone and iPad - so - any idea how to create a friendly situation for apple mail and my google email accounts? Some have said, "use your @icloud.com or @me.com email accounts - but for my job and most of my world - my gmail accounts have been my go to.

So.

HELP!

Thanks...hope all are safe and healthy.

Namaste,

Might help to get more details re: what problem you are seeing.

Personally, not seeing any authorization problems, never did. And added a new Gmail account a week or two ago to Mac mail with no issue.

You don’t get the Mail App popping up while you di something Else. Thats the gmail Problem

Nope.

Nope.

Sounds wierd. Do you use App spezific password?

No app specific passwords. The account I added recently went through the standard Mail > Accounts > Google, which brought up the mini-browser to enter credentials and 2FA code.
