No matter where I look I don't see a place to change my gmail password in mac mail. Suggestions appreciated.

Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Server Settings....passwd

this has to reflect the the correct passwd you have at gmail.com If you did not log into gmail through a browser and make a change it will be for naught.

If in doubt refer to the developers website; Support/Help/FAQ/known issues/compatibility/updates:
