Additional settings

• To enable two-factor authentication (2FA) with Mac Mail, you'll need to generate an App Password in your Google Account settings and enter it in the Mac Mail account settings.
• If you're using 2FA, you may need to allow less secure apps to access your account. To do this, go to your Google Account settings, click on "Security," and toggle the switch next to "Less secure app access" to the "On" position.

Once you've set up your Gmail account with Mac Mail, you should be able to access your Gmail inbox, send and receive emails, and use other Gmail features through the Mac Mail client.
