Mail randomly doesn’t send emails from gmail addresses

In my Apple mail app I have gmail addresses set up. I have recently been experiencing an issue where emails sent from those gmail addresses simply disappear after trying to send them. Not in sent, not in outbox, just gone. It is random as to which sending gmail address and also as to recipient address. Anyone have experience with this?

Gmail not sending via Apple Mail Hi, I’m having a problem whereby when I send a gmail message from Apple Mail on my iPad there are occasions, which appear to be completely random, when the message doesn’t get sent. I don’t realise this until a couple of days later when I haven’t received an expected reply. If I save the message to drafts and then send it, it nearly always goes without issue. However if I just hit the send button then sometimes the mail goes and other times I hear the “whoosh” but when I look in my sent box it’s not there ie it seems to have disappeared into the “ether”. I’ve deleted and reinstated the gmail account in Apple Mail, I’ve updated the gmail app on the iPad albeit I use the mail from my Apple Mail app. I have no idea why this is. Can anybody explain please?

emails sent from Mail on MBP no longer being received Just recently, I’ve discovered that mail I send from my 2021 MBP (using Mail) is not being received. The account works fine when using my iPad - emails sent to myself appear in the inbox almost immediately. In fact, I receive them on my MBP as well when I send them as tests from the iPad. Emails sent from my 2015 MBP, also arrive straightaway on the iPad, but - again - not on the newer MBP. So what’s suddenly gone wrong with Mail on the 2 MBPs? I’ve checked Apple’s ‘Connection Doctor’, and all appears OK. And the account is shown as live and online in Settings/Accounts. Any ideas what might be happening here? All was fine until a couple of days ago.

Disappearing emails on iPhone and iPad On my gmail account as well as several other accounts maintained by my webhost, mesaages randomly disappear. It seems not to matter what email address sent the messages. They are visible one minute and then just gone, sometimes on both the iPad and iPhone, sometimes on only one or the other. If I search for the messages by entering a search term such as "gmail," the message is sometimes listed in the search results, yet if I try to select the message, nothing is displayed. The same messages continue to be displayed with no problems by Mail on my iMac.
