Hello,
I am having troubles with Apple Mail. I think I have done everything as it must be but it's still not working. Please have a look at my settings and help, if you can.

Hello Z,
Did you log into gMail in a Browser & enable IMAP...
Is the rest setup like this?...

Yes, it's enabled 😟
I can't log in my uni account either, doing exactly the same stuff my coursemates do, theirs worked, mine didn't.
Can you login using webmail n a Browser using the same info?
Do you have any Anti-vius SW installed?
Open System Preferences>Network>Configure>Proxies Tab, make sure none are set, like for HTTP & HTTPS.
Yes, and it works on my phone and iPad as well.
I don't and none of them are selected.
Do yourself a BIG favor and Dump Mac Mail. As you have found out it is one of the Worst Email Programs ever written.
Switch to ANY other Email program and you will not have these problems.
Which would you suggest?
I've been using Thunderbird on both Mac and PC and find it a very good email program.
That's so strange, I got Thunderbird, it says that my username or password is wrong. They definitely aren't, I can log in with them on gmail.com
Double check you entered them correctly and didn't accidently hit the Caps Lock key or the Shift key when entering them.
I did numerous times, I even copy/pasted them and they work on the site but not on the clients

The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, or a server end problem.
If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.
I have honestly not been more confused in my life, no idea what you just said, can you simplify a bit what I have to do, do I just change the ports?
