If you can get new email but nothing else works, then the Mac must know your password. You can retreive that password as follows: 1. Open Keychain access from your utilities folder (command-shift-u) 2 Hit tab and enter pop.gmail.com into the search text field. 3. Hit tab a few times, and you should be in a table with just one item. The key for your pop account. 4. Hit command-i to view the key info. 5. Near the bottom is a view password checkbox. 6. You will probably be prompted for your keychain password. If you are reading these instructions, then 99% of the time this will be the same password as your login passowrd.
Now you should be able to view what your system things the password is. Best of luck, Jonathan Cohn .
