Hello,
I have about seven email accounts that I access using Mac's native Mail app, two of which are gmail accounts that are now being utilized by other members of my organization. I no longer have passwords as I'm no longer responsible for the roles/accounts (but I do have ongoing interest in helping those who are following me). I want to keep the emails and be able to search them within Mail, just as I do any of my other accounts. Yosemite's updated Mail app – Version 8.2 (2104) – is much more annoying (than whatever was installed Mavericks) in that it prompts for passwords and becomes unresponsive if I ignore the prompts, and sometimes freezes even if I don't... I click Cancel on the notification pop-ups when they come up.
If I go to Internet Accounts in System Preferences I know that I can stop syncing mail for those accounts. But when I do that I no longer have access to the email archive I had while I was actively using the account.
A little more background:
The two email addresses are both Gmail (administered Google Apps accounts, in case it matters), both utilized by by me when I served as a trustee for a non-profit. Trustees lead standing committees and change positions every one or two years in our organization, and I maintain interest in the organization and provide assistance to new trustees. Twice this week I was able to help by looking up old email correspondence. But I only just now upgraded to Yosemite and the Mail app is a bit of a pain.
Questions:
Is there a way to force Mail (Version 8.2) to stop hounding for password and simply keep the emails I have?
Other suggestions?
Your help would be great, thanks!
