Q: Messages stuck in Outbox only in mac (iphone works fine) and only in one gmail acount of 2

Messages stuck in Outbox only in mac (iphone works fine) and only in one gmail acount of 2

I can receive mesages ok. Connection Doctor status red on Gmail SMTP  Details say: "Trying to log in to this Gmail SMTP account failed. Verify that the username and password are correct."

I have re-done all paswd stuff, even the gmail 2 step, application specific and still can´t send mails out.

 

Have just upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 two weeks ago

MacBook Air 13-inch Mid 2011

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

    I had an excellent Apple support agent named Luis who helped out. Re-installed the account partially. Discovered that there is in fact a bug in Yosemite. The mail client in mac will not save the outgoing server address and confusion amongst different mail account happens, added to outbox messages stuck. Hopefully Apple will correct bug in later OS X version. Case number 753401346

    Miguel -

     

    Are you running 2-step authentication with gmail on this issue?  And was it in the outbound email settings under SMTP > Advanced would lose the password there, or somewhere else?
