A Few Thoughts:
Hold Down: [shift key] upon boot. In Safe Mode, items run by default with all preferences set aside.
Try a new browser (i.e Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome). If that works, then it is an issue with your browser.
Safari is built into the macOS, so you'd have to reinstall the macOS to fix it, in that case.
So...
Report this as a Bug to Apple:
Meaning adding Gmail email account in Mail.
How to add / remove email account: https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/mail/mail35803/12.0/mac/10.14
Gmail is an email account from google and not a email client / program.
Thank you very much for responding. The problem is I don't want Apple Mail to be my default email client, because I don't like it. I use GMail all the time. If I change it back to Apple Mail, then when I reply to a contact on a website, the conversation will appear in Apple Mail, and if we have multiple back-and-forth conversations, I'll have to use Apple Mail.
I don't understand why I can't use any email client like Google Mail, etc. and for my computer to be able to read and reply to email addresses listed under "Contact" on websites. It used to be able to do that, so I don't know why it now says it can't.
I'm Sorry, i've not used other email client. I have set up my gmail account in the Apple mail client and it works fine.
Someone else from the community who is using other email client should be able to help you or answer.
Thanks for letting me know. I sure hope someone else who doesn't use Apple Mail may know the answer.
What does it mean to set up a GMail account within the Apple Mail client? And how does one do that? Can or does GMail become the default email client/program?
