Apple mail googlemail bug

A frustrating issue!

It's possible that you're experiencing a bug or compatibility issue between Apple Mail and Google Mail (Gmail). Here are some potential solutions to help you resolve the issue:

1. Check for updates: Ensure that both Apple Mail and Gmail are updated to the latest versions. Sometimes, updates can resolve compatibility issues.
2. Reset Apple Mail: Try resetting Apple Mail by going to Mail > Preferences > Accounts, selecting your Gmail account, and clicking the "Reset" button. This will remove all settings and start fresh.
3. Check Gmail settings: Log in to your Gmail account and check the settings. Ensure that the "Less secure app access" setting is enabled. This allows Apple Mail to access your Gmail account.
4. Use IMAP instead of POP: Try switching from POP to IMAP in Apple Mail. Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts, select your Gmail account, and click the "Account Settings" button. Under "Account Information," select "IMAP" instead of "POP."
5. Check for duplicate accounts: If you have multiple Gmail accounts set up in Apple Mail, try removing the duplicate accounts and re-adding them.
6. Disable two-factor authentication (2FA): If you have 2FA enabled on your Gmail account, try disabling it temporarily to see if it resolves the issue.
7. Clear Apple Mail cache: Clearing the Apple Mail cache can sometimes resolve issues. To do this, go to ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData and delete the Envelope Index and Message Store files.
8. Re-add your Gmail account: Try re-adding your Gmail account to Apple Mail by going to Mail > Preferences > Accounts, clicking the "+" button, and selecting "Other Mail Account."
9. Contact Apple Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you can contact Apple Support for further assistance.
10. Contact Google Support: If the issue persists, you can also contact Google Support for help with your Gmail account.

Remember to try each step carefully and in order, as some solutions may require you to reconfigure your email settings.
