Issues with Sequoia 15.7.8, Gmail and Apple Mail

Immediately after updating to macOS Sequoia 15.7.8, Google accounts stopped authenticating in Apple Mail. Internet Accounts shows Mail enabled, but the accounts do not appear in Connection Doctor or remain inactive in Mail. Removing and re-adding the accounts does not resolve it. Other users are reporting the same behavior after 15.7.8.

MacOS Sequoia 15.7.8 is a security-focused update release, not a beta, as far as I am aware. However, if the discussion forums do not wish to accept it, we can escalate the issue to the Mail team by submitting a bug report. Please let me know if you would like to pursue this route.

If you have any questions about filing a bug report, take a look at Bug Reporting: How and Why?

If you decide to go that path, I'm happy to help and I'll route the bug straight to that team.

Once you open the bug report, please post the FB number here for my reference.

I just posted that shows the exact same issue I ran into. To me this is a Sev 1 issue that I hope the Apple Mail Developer team is addressing and pushing a fix ASAP. The update from this morning 15.7.8 (24G817) did not help.

We appreciate your interest in participating in the forums! These forums are for questions about developing software and accessories for Apple platforms. Your question seems related to a consumer feature and is better suited for the Apple Support Communities

Hope this helps

because this a Beta version my question keeps getting rejected in the support communities and I was directed here.

I was directed to go here from the Communities forum as this was with beta software. And they deleted my post asking me to contact you. So I am not sure what you mean. Ping-pong is not fun when you have a Sev 1 issue. Thank you

Albert - I see no movement in the Feedback issue that I created for the last 24h. Could you try and ping through your channels. Thank you. Raj
