Q: Problems using Gmail in Mail in OS X EL CAPITAN
Hi. Updated from the mountain Lion to el capitan a few weeks ago for several reasons. One of the reasons was that I had begun to have problems with the use of e-mail program included in the operating system. This issue I hoped and thought I would be fixed by the upgrade of the operating system. Something that unfortunately did not fix it. Can someone help me?
A day before the summer, I couldn't download and read emails with the following e-mail program in the operating system. I also could not send emails. Please see the attachments in this post for the screenshot. I have two gmail accounts that I use for personal email that I want to be able to read and send emails with.
Unfortunately I can't get the program "Mail" to be English, therefore have translated the text from Norwegian to English.
Connection status: Mail could connect to the internet
Details
Could not log on to this IMAP e-mail account. Make sure that the user name and password are correct.
By pressing the signs/warning icons, I get the following message
There may be a problem with the mail server, or the network. Check the settings for the account "xxxxxx@gmail.com", or try again.
After searching for solutions in the setup of the program I found a solution that works. I had to log in to my Google account to change the security settings to more vulnerable or less secure. Do not understand why e-mail program that included operating system requires this suddenly. And what does this for me?
Can anyone help? I would like of course to have the highest security on my macbook pro. Have access to these gmail accounts on the iPhone, the iPad and apps that can be used without never had to make changes to the security settings of the Goggle. And therefore finds it very strange that "Mail" on the operating system on my macbook has problems.
Sorry that the text is poorly written. My text is translated from Norwegian into English, which you can also look at the attachment.
Logic Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
