But Mail that old will not support the ew AUTH2.0 needed.

Mac's Mail App is not as modern as iOS's Mail app, Many eMail providers now require a separate App Password different from your eMail password…

If it's an IMAP account, delete it in Sys Prefs Internet Accounts then use "Other" instead of gMail choice to add it.

Most likely biggest factor is using Other in Mail setup, then using a Browser that doesn’t have gMail PW stored init to get the App PW.

I also spent hours trying to solve this issue until I followed this video... It worked and my Gmail accounts are back on Mac Mail.

Give it a shot and good luck! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0WPw2TsTAY

I want to open my gmail account on a PowerBook I have not used since 2010. The mail is there, but I need an imap password to access it. Where and how would I find that password ? (Most info online is about Outlook, which I do not use.)

Many thanks in advance.

Ask google what settings to use for their IMAP account.
