I'm using multiple gmail addresses for different purposes. I'm using apple mail but authentication fails continuously regardless of how many times I have provided my credentials. I've tried to delete the accounts and set up multiple times, it didn't work. It keeps taking my time each day and I'm really annoyed. Does anybody resolved this problem before? (I'm using Big Sur)
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.3
Hi mlikeak,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. As we understand it, you're unable to authenticate your email accounts on your Mac. Are you able to access your email using webmail? You'll want to make sure that your mail settings are correct. Check out the following links.
If Mail on your Mac can’t connect to your email account
Cheers.
mlikeak,
Are you running the latest macOS version on your Mac? You can view this by going to the Apple logo and selecting About The Mac. If not, we'd recommend that you install the latest.
Take care.
Hi Nicholas_B2,
I can use all emails via web browser. There is no problem logging into my accounts via web. When I first set up, I can authenticate via Apple mail. However, after a while using it without any problem, it starts giving authentication failed error. When I try to reconnect safari pop up appears and asks my credentials. I log in but it keeps rejecting me no matter how many times I enter my credentials. Sometimes I close the apple mail app and restart. After a point it works or not. Sometimes I have remove all emails and set up again :/
Hi barberlives123,
I'm using macOS BigSur 11.3
I will try updating it to 11.5 this evening and inspect whether the problem continues. I will let you know.
Thanks for your help.
