Mail app does not send to wife's gmail account.

I use a gmail account to send emails using Apple's Mail app. It works for everyone except my wife who uses her google account. The messages do not go to her spam box, and I never receive an error message. Mail shows the messages as sent. She can only receive emails from me if I use my comcast account. I can also send her email from google's gmail page. We have checked and both of us have each other listed on their gmail contacts list. Neither is blocked. Why does Apple Mail fail to send her (and no one else) messages from my gmail account?

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 26.1

Sound like a gmail issue and not Apple mail, she can report the issue to gmail support or look at their help site/forum.

We are both in each other's contacts list; there are no blocked email addresses for either account. We have set up no rules in gmail or in the Apple Mail app.

My guess is that you have her email address incorrect when sending from your Mail app. You do not get an error message because the email address is valid so it is being sent without error to the incorrectly spelled email address.
