mail not responding on imac

Using the same credentials n a Browser can you log into your WebMail?

I have this problem too.

I forgot my google password; changed it.

Now using my Dec 2010 iMac

I can't use the MAIL icon to access my gmail account. I can't enter the new password for google; I get an error message.

It's a wonderful computer. I really want to restore this feature.

I get an error message. I've googled it.

It's because my iMac is old. mid 2010 High Sierra

My version of the operating system is not supported, and I can't upgrade the OS.

Best solution? Buy a new Mac. Except...

See if this does it...

I've downloaded a common app to get to my gmail. It works!

I haver so much to learn. Meantime, a while back I did upgrade the iMac and boosted memory to 16 G. That speed it up!

(But of course I think my car is faster when I wash it!) Just laughing at myself.

The App works.

It only imports past and future emails. It doesn't show the folders I created to put emails in.

I'd like to restore those, or restore my apple mail so I get them back!

I have so much to learn. :)

We moved a lot.

Before I was born my Father served with the Royal Navy in the Med. He was in the Canadian Navy.

School...I went to 13 schools in two countries by end of grade 8. Somehow things like letters didn't survive those moves. It sounds nice!

I did restart my computer before trying. Thanks for this hint.

You made me smile!
