Gmail Download Not Working Mac

admin

Several people are experiencing issues with Gmail (especially G Suite) email accounts in Mail on Mac. It seems that the Mail App is not working as expected for some Gmail users. More specifically, some Gmail users have said that after installing the macOS 10.14.4, and launching the Mail app, some Gmail users are asked to authenticate their email addresses. They get a notification saying:

Gmail for Mac is perfect for quickly accessing your Gmail account without ever needing to open a web browser. The app is fully feature packed and built for speed. The attempt at signing in should work this time, and Google will now remember your device so it does not get blocked in the future. Double Check That IMAP Is Enabled. Gmail may also not be working on your device if IMAP (Gmail's technology that it uses to send mail to your device) is disabled in the settings.
