My son (11yrs) has a Gmail account that he was using for emails on his Chromebook. Now he's using a MacBook and it says that accounts managed by Family Link are not allowed to sign into Mail on his MacBook. I can't see a way to fix this in Family Link, and if I delete his account from Family Link, he loses his Gmail account. Any suggestions
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.13
If a Family Link is imposed, then it is entered as a child's account in Google. Such an account cannot use other applications to sign in through Google. In this case, Gmail. Apple cannot get confirmation or information about emails, account name, etc. This problem cannot be solved.

Probably a likely answer would be for the young person to
get new GMail account. And keep track of what goes where.
Perhaps cease using an account least likely to benefit Mac user.
Create new gmail for use w/ Mail + 'Parental Control' in macOS?
While I have two accounts with gmail, neither is limited-access.
(Original purpose of two: First, for anonymous in 'third-party
apple user' help forums; participated concurrently. + 2nd, me.)
Good luck & happy computing!🌞🎣
