I'm using Big Sur 11.2.3 which was updatd AFTER this problem occurred a couple of days ago, so that's not the root cause. I can access my mail accounts at Google via a browser, and on the mail App on my iPad and iPhone, just not my MBP. Possibly a response challenge issue? I'm no techie by the way, just a frustrated user at the moment.Ĭhanging the default browser, trying to add a new gmail acccount have all failed. It seems that my MBP is trying to authentication using Safari and Safari isn't playing ball. I spent several hours on the phone yesterday with Google Support and determined that it is not a Google Mail issue.

When I click on the latter button, 2 windows open: a smaller window with a spinning clockface (or whatever its called) partially hidden by a larger one, '' with the title, 'Safari Can't Open the Page', followed by text referring to '/o/oauth2/v2/auth?' continuing with about 10 lines of text. When I click on this tilda sign it opens a window that asks for a password (no window to complete that request) and offers 'Cancel' or 'Open Broswer' options.

Each account has a tilda sign next to it. Since a couple of days ago I cannot access any of my gmail accounts from my MBP.
