Hi, Since upgrading to El Capitan I am getting 'Login Failed' error for my 2 Gmail accounts. I tried deleting the accounts and setting them up from new, still the errors. My other email accounts (non-Gmail) are connecting fine. The Mail Connection Doctor says 'Trying to login to this IMAP account failed. Verify that the username and password are correct.'

There is an equivalent error for it's SMTP account. In Mail Settings, the Incoming Mail Server and User Name are greyed out (albeit containing the correct information), which I hadn't noticed with Yosemite Mail. The tick box to automatically detect and maintain account settings is ticked, and that option is greyed out; I cannot change it. On rare occasions, the connection has been successful, and the emails download. Free video editing software for apple mac.

The following link from Google's support site offers up some great information in regard to settings for Apple Mail: You will need to select a few options to get to that information. Choose: • I want to enable IMAP • Then 'Apple Mail' • OK, Confirm my settings Additionally there are some pointers on their site at this link as well: Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. Kind Regards. I just posted a reply to which is probably more appropriate here. Gradebook app for mac. I too have had a devil of a time with Mail.app logins in 10.11.x, even when trying to connect from Mail.app to Server on the very same machine. In short I signed up for the Mac Public Beta program and started sending problem reports to Apple (it sends huge files to Apple). Then suddenly things started working in late October or early November 2015.

For reasons I won't go in to here I put a fresh 10.11.3 on top of one of my 10.11.4 Beta's this morning and Mail.app broke all over again. Won't hardly log into anything.

Give 10.11.4 Beta a try. I'm guessing it will solve your problem. I know this was posted some time ago now but thought I would throw the solution that worked for me up just incase anyone else has the same problem.

I already had imap access enabled by the way, I've just thrown the extra step in there in case your issue is because it was disabled. For what ever reason disabling imap access and then re-enabling it seemed to fix the problem. First of all login to your gmail account in your browser, Go to settings and choose 'forwarding pop/imap', Scroll down to 'imap access' - if it's disabled then enable it (if this was disabled than this is likely your problem as it should have been enabled so this should resolve your problem. However, for me I had to do the next step) - if it's already enabled then disable it, Now select 'save', Now go back in to settings and enable 'imap access' again, Go to your Mail.app and click the little icon beside the email account that wasn't connected. It should now connect to the sever and download your emails. Hope this helps. Apple Footer • This site contains user submitted content, comments and opinions and is for informational purposes only.
