changed gmail password and outlook for mac does not update

Changed Gmail And Outlook Does Not Offline Then Wait

When you hit the send button, a popup box will come up while in Apple Mail, it will take you to a login box for that gmail account - you can enter your password there.

Different problem.) There is literally no place to change the password.

Ive changed the password two layers deeper in the SMTP settings, but that doesnt apparently change the IMAP setting.

Im happy to edit a Prefs file, but which one I deleted everything related to that account in Keychain Access, but I still dont have the option of entering a new password.

It took a whole 2 minutes to get all my emails back in my inbox.

Much less time than the time it took me than the many forums I read through trying to figure out the solution.

Simplest solution: Try to send an email using Apple Mail for the gmail account that you cannot change the password for.

I found one post that said we have to delete and re-add the account.

Yet, since I dont use Gmail for outgoing e-mails, its good already.

In the Mail preferences this is all located in the Account Information tab at top of window.

This should also get updated in Keychain Access, but it is here that I sometimes see issues.

Finally, some folks are finding if under the Mailboxes Menu in Mail, if they click on Take all Accounts Offline then wait a minute, then Turn All Accounts Online this helps.

Let me know if any of the above works for you.

Thanks. Hope this helps, Greg.

I had to use Mail Preferences--Accounts--Gmail--Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)--Edit SMTP Server list--Advanced to change it there, and it changed it for incoming messages as well.

Just to make it perfectly clear (in case anyone from apple see this) the last solution worked as a workaround, but there is still an underlying bug.

Namely, I dont use gmail in any of my outgoing parameters, and to suppose the smtp account is the same as the incoming account might be accurate in most cases, but not all cases (This is the very reason most mail clients have separate incoming and outgoing credentials fields).

Here again, it seems mail doesnt care if its an account for imap.google.com or smtp.google.com and slaps the same credentials to both, making change to one of them effectively (but wrongly) changing the other one.

Apple Mail is a good client with extensive parameters, dont over simplify it for people who really use it (in corporate environment for instance).

Under Mail - Preferences, there is no password field under any of the following 3 tabs: Account Information Mailbox Behaviors Advanced And I see no email accounts in my Keychain Access window either.
