And I need access to it because of Google's mew requirement for 2-step verification and a Google-generated "app password". I've followed Google's instructions — open Mail's preferences, go to the Accounts tab, select my Google account and replace the password. Google's screenshot shows the fields for Incoming Mail Server, User Name, Password, etc.. My panel shows nones of those. I can't insert Google's password so am locked out.
Any ideas?
Aha! Solved my problem. Mohave's preferences keeps passwords under the Server Settings Tab, not Account Information.
Mail now no longer receives email using Google's new password, but that's for another day…

👍Excellent Job Troubleshooting:
Not so certain what role Safari would play in all of your app
Keep up up to date on how everything works out.
Safari had no role whatsoever, TheLittles. By Mojave's preferences I meant the preferences in Mojave's version of Mail. My lack of clarity.
Meanwhile Mail is working again, after a restart.
