Setting up mail I recently got a new Macbook Air. When setting up emails, I select google as my account provider. Then I get a 'connecting to browser' loading screen, and it just won't load (screenshots attached). I've left it for hours, retried to connect, quit the app, etc etc etc. The same thing happens if I try to manually enter my email through 'other mail account. I've downloaded the 'mail for gmail' app as well, and when I try to log in I get 'couldn't sign you in. This browser may not be secure' no matter how many times I try. I can access my gmail accounts fine on my browser, but if I need to send an email directly from a website it redirects to mail. Solutions? Experience? Thankyou!!

Mail: Cannot add Gmail account Hi I've got a new MacBook Air but somehow just cannot add my Gmail account to the Mail client. After going through the authentication process and clicking "Done" things just stalled. Nothing happens. I've tried this dozens of times. Monterey 12.6 is the OS version. Your advice appreciated.
