  • Apple Mail not syncing with Google servers after upgrade...

    From TDH1978@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 16 16:46:53 2023
    I upgraded to the latest version of macOS Ventura (13.2.1) yesterday,
    and when my 16" M2 MacBook Pro rebooted, I noticed two things: my
    fingerprint ids were gone and I had to resort to using passwords for authentication, and more importantly, Apple Mail was no longer syncing
    to the Google mail servers (something that had been working flawlessly
    since 2010).

    I checked my mail accounts in Settings, and everything seemed to be
    fine. I deactivated and then reactivated my Mail accounts under Mail > Accounts. I also rebooted my machine. Nothing helped.

    Has anyone else experienced this? And how do I get Apple Mail to
    re-sync with the Google servers?

    I upgraded last night. I have my own domain in Google Mail and a gmail
    account.
    Both are syncing just fine. Inside mail preferences, there's a test feature
    (or there
    used to be) to test connectivity to the Google Mail server. What do the logs tell
    you about connecting to Gmail?

    MacO's log files were consolidated which makes them hard to wander around
    like a Linux server. You might check out the Logs section of

    Try deleting the account from your Mac, close Mac Mail, reboot,
    set up the account again on your Mac.


    Regretfully agree. Been there (not with this v. of OS, however).

    First delete all files with "Envelope" in the name within this folder:

    /Users/profilename/Library/Mail/V10/MailData

    This will rebuild the database. This can take a couple of minutes when
    you open Mail again. After this Mail will be much snappier too.
