Auth 2.0 Error 400 on Mail account

Then put and .. . . and vent to the E-mail Severs of the Users' Choice.

We hear similar complaints directed towards Apple for imposing things on Users in the iOS / macOS they do not like.

Don't like Google, Don't Apple.

Maybe some other platform would be a better fit.

Has the user tried Linux - Oh don't them either 😔

We all like our Soap Box from time to time

Privacy? Phone number...?

The desire to use Google Mail while maintaining any semblance of privacy demonstrates cognitive dissonance. You fixated on a gnat and can't even see the elephant in the room.

To Quote the Rolling Stones m" You an always get what you want "

" But you get what you Need " and that I leave open to " interpretation "

Have taken enough of the user time

Best of luck with this perceived issue

I surmise I could be more clear about it: Google has absolutely no incentive to let you use Apple's email client. None. There is nothing in it for them. Google and its parent company Alphabet exist for the sole purpose of harvesting and selling your personal information. If not for that fact Google would disappear. Poof. Gone. Wiped out. Google wants you to use something else.

Apple on the other hand embraces protecting personal information, has zero interest in selling yours, and actively incorporates those principles in their core business model. You don't have to use Apple's products or services either. If you don't agree with them, use something else.

Please provide detailed steps for solving this issue. I get the following message whenever I try to add my gmail account to apple mail...

Mine as well today

But Apple do insist you buy overpriced new equipment from them at an alarmingly increasing frequency to have that security and privacy, thus ensuring their bottom line. And considering Apple's market cap is about twice what Alphabet's is, that seems to be working for them quite well, but less so for we poor consumers who can no longer afford to fund their greed.

in my case with High Sierra OS it doesn't work.

In the account list I have the old GMAIL configuration that doesn't work anymore. I cannot remove this old account otherwise it would be removed from all devices including newer ones. Therefore, the system won't let me create a new email account with the same email used in the old Gmail account.

I tried to disable the old Gmail account leaving it in the list but the problem remains.
