Mail won’t download new emails

My Mail app on my iMac stays offline, and I can’t get it to come online and download new emails. Also, I deleted my gmail account and can’t reinstall it. What is wrong with the Mail app? I am using Mojave OS.

Add an email account to Mail on your Mac


If Mail on your Mac keeps asking for your password


  • Your email provider needs you to update or reset your password for security reasons. For example, if you're using Google’s two-step verification, your Gmail account in Mail requires the appropriate app-specific password.
  • Your email provider deactivated or suspended your account. Contact your email provider for help.
