Problem FIXED. SOLOUTION FOUND. Read the fix that Kegan from apple support and myself found:
Step 1. Use finder to locate the //Library/mail/mailboxes folder. Look for a folder called “recovered messages (your mailbox name).mbox. If you see it filled with emails, kindly drag it to the desktop. If you don’t see it filled with emails, kindly drag it to the desktop anyways.
Step 2. Open Apple Mail and go to preferences/accounts. Highlight the offending IMAP Gmail account and DELETE your IMAP gmail with the “-” icon. Close Apple Mail.
Step 3. Go to System Preferences and create a new dummy user. Log onto that dummy user.
Step 4. Open Apple Mail and go through the initial dialogue to set up your long lost IMAP gmail account. Give it a few minutes to set itself up and start downloading all your emails. You don’t have to wait for the whole thing if you don’t want…just a few minutes so you can see the labels listed and can click one of them to see the emails in there.
Step 5. Close Apple Mail and log out of that account and go back into your normal account. Open Apple Mail and set up your old account again.
Step 6. Grab that beer you so richly deserve. You ARE the man (or woman)!
THIS FIXES THE IPHONE “WRONG USERNAME AND PASSWORD” PROBLEM AT THE SAME TIME. I changed nothing on my Iphone, went and looked, and it worked suddenly.
Happy Mackin’! (Yeah, I know it’s another name for making out)
