Hello!

I changed my password in my gmail account and now I don't know how to change the password on my macbook pro computer? Do I have to delete the account and then reenter? Thanks for your help!

This doesn't allow you to change the password....I think you have to go into Preferences and keychain. It's simple if you just delete your mail account
and then add it once again. That's what I found.....thanks for reply!
