Warning

Google may block sign-in attempts from some apps or devices, including older versions of Apple Mail, that do not use modern security standards. As such Google recommends that you update to an app that uses the most up to date security measures. If you wish to continue using Apple Mail prior to version 9.3 despite Google's recommendation, you will need to follow Google's instructions for allowing less secure apps.


  1. Make sure IMAP is enabled for your account: log on to your Gmail account in your Web browser, go to your e-mail by clicking on the Mail label at the top of the page, or Inbox on the start page.

  13. When the prompt to allow macOS to access your email, calendar, and contacts appear, choose Allow.
