Apple Mail cannot login mail accounts - login through browser works

Apple Mail fails to log into six accounts, can log into one.


I have no trouble logging into the accounts via browser.


What is this beastly app up to now? Why doesn't it work? I haven't changed anything. I have seen this is a problem occurring to some, but I couldn't find a solution online.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12.6), 512 Gb SSD, 16 Gb RAM,

I could get one account online by removing it, and adding it again.


If I do that, I will lose all the emails that I put into special folders, correct?


I have not removed and re-added my main business account, as I need all those emails in their special folders, that I use as a to-do list.




PS: while I'm getting login error, I can send and receive email.


What the heck is going on?


PS 2: after an hour of so of login problem, the error messages disappeared.


Do Apple and Google fight sometimes?
