Can't add gmail to mail on my MacBook Pro 10.11.6

Why not? What happens when you try to add the email account? Do you get an error? If so, what does it say?

It should be added the same way it was added the first time. By going into the Mail menu ➜ Add account and selecting Google from the preset providers, and then following the onscreen prompts.

You may need to generate an App specific password from your Gmail account website for the mail app now.

You can't sign in to this app because it doesn't comply with Google's OAuth 2.0 policy for keeping apps secure.

You can let the app developer know that this app doesn't comply with one or more Google validation rules.

If you’re the app developer, make sure that these request details comply with Google policies.

Gmail is working on my iPhone.

What macOS version is your Mac running? Google no longer supports older macOS versions and will issue that error unless you configure your Gmail account to support less secure apps.

It was working fine until I changed a password to gmail on my new iMac. When I tried to open Mail on my MBPro, it gmail would not connect but iCloud mail does work.

Delete the Gmail account from your Mac and add it back.

Why not? What happens when you try to add it?

Have you created an App specific password for your Gmail account for the iPhone's mail App?
