Many Mac users reported that Apple Mail can’t authenticate Gmail account after updating to macOS Mojave and Apple Mail looped prompts for a sign-in email account and password. But we can use a Gmail account to login in Safari browser. This happens only when the Gmail account has been set up before Mojave. If you are the first time to set up in Mojave, it will not happen. If you are also facing the same, then follow the upcoming steps to solve it.
