Test using webmail

Remove your account, then add it back


If no other solutions work, try setting up your email account again.

There are settings with gmail, yahoo, & other clients with preference.


If setting up Apple mail app with gmail; and it won't work, you'd have

to try the settings again. To be sure gmail itself is OK, that can be set

to work from a browser. Gmail can be used to authenticate Apple mail.

Apple Mail supports the methods of communicating with the Gmail servers.

You can add a Gmail account the same way you'd add any POP or IMAP

account you currently use. For most part, articles cover general knowledge.

When there's a hand-off with cell phone and computer, those settings could

be partial reason your Mac and phone may not be set up correctly to do this.


Check the Continuity between your products to be sure settings are correct.

All this, and maybe could be the devices all need to just be restarted, to connect correctly?
