Apple Calendar Has Problems Mac But Stops

This doesnt remove anything from your Mac but stops Gmail from receiving new messages until you reactivate it.

But recently there have been a lot more problems than usual as Gmail keeps failing to authenticate in Apple Mail.

Ask any of the 2000 other users who discussed the problem in this Apple thread.

Apple Mail keeps asking you to log in and authenticate your Google account using Safari.

After you do it, Apple Mail asks again and youre stuck in an endless login authentication loop.

But theres also a surge of new users getting the issue due to a bug in Apples release of macOS 10.14.4.

This bug created a login authentication loop between Macs Apple Mail and Gmail.

The issue appears to be a problem with Apple Mail itself, and not with Google or your Gmail account.

But weve written about a range of other mail clients before, such as.

A slightly more technical solution Ive seen a few times is to use a web debugging proxy application called Charles.

But other users say they used Charles to repair Apple Mail and Gmail authentication issues.

Follow the steps in the order provided and remember to keep testing your account.

Perhaps Google put a temporary block on Apple Mail and you need to re-enable it for authentication to stop failing.

Its an old favorite and I wonder if Ive ever written a troubleshooting post without this suggestion.
