authorization error when trying to add gmail account to apple mail
Cannot get gmail through apple mail. Authorization Error from Google OAuth 2.0
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.13
Yep, full story...
Mac's Mail App is not as modern as iOS's Mail app, Many eMail providers now require a separate App Password different from your eMail password…
If it's an IMAP account, delete it in Sys Prefs Internet Accounts then use "Other" instead of gMail choice to add it.
Most likely biggest factor is using Other in Mail setup, then using a Browser that doesn’t have gMail PW stored init to get the App PW.

I also spent hours trying to solve this issue until I followed this video... It worked and my Gmail accounts are back on Mac Mail.
Give it a shot and good luck! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0WPw2TsTAY
It might just need an App Password separate from the gMail password…

I was having this problem trying to add a mail (not gmail) account just for Notes. In my ~/Library/Keychains folder, I found a subfolder with a long hexadecimal and hyphens name. I deleted that subfolder, logged out, and logged back in. I was then able to add the account, without having lost any passwords from my keychains.
