Thanks rk. I have gone into mail>pref>accounts but on the panel for Google IMAP account, below the field boxes for incoming mail server and User Name there is NO label or box for "Password". This is unlike my other accounts like Comcast where I do have a label and field box for password right after user name. The Mac is connected to the Internet as I'm able to get on Safari, etc.

Thanks again for the community assistance.
