Mail.app doesn't show server settings

I have run into a very strange problem in Mail.app on my Macintosh (Mojave 10.14.6).

One of my email accounts stopped synchronizing. It is a Gmail account. I went into my account preferences to check the settings and update them if necessary, and lo and behold, the Server Settings didn't show any options for incoming mail and it was missing most of the options for outgoing mail settings. Yikes! See screen shot below.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I also checked the Internet Account panel in System Preferences and there were no options I could change for this account there, either.

As a last resort I can delete the account and add it back again but I would rather not do that if it can be avoided.

Are you having issues with that account?

If not what is the issue.

synchronizing a existing Gmail account is not a server setting issue. Restart, log out of the account log back in, these would all be was to synchronizing devices on the same account.

please advise—

Gmail automatically sets the server setting when you set up the account using the Google option....

Always verify the server is not having issues—out of your control

Rebooting my Macintosh fixed it.
