Several people are experiencing issues with Gmail (especially G Suite) email accounts in Mail on Mac. It seems that the Mail App is not working as expected for some Gmail users. More specifically, some Gmail users have said that after installing the macOS 10.14.4, and launching the Mail app, some Gmail users are asked to authenticate their email addresses. They get a notification saying:
My Gmail account in Mac mail errors multiple times a day 'Login Failed', clicking it initiates re-login and it works for a bit. All my software is up to date, I have two step authentication turned on, Gmail is iMap, the account has been deleted and added numerous times. Gmail is an excellent free webmail service from Google. It's a full-featured, powerful, and reliable email client.However, there may be times when you experience issues with Gmail not being able to load, which is frustrating and confusing. Copying my Mail folder on MacBook (3.65 Gb tho gMail web interface says I am only using 1.08 Gb) and will then try the next stage. I am not clear how my iMac was OK when i went to France, my MBP went awry and then my iMac caught it, but I guess fixing the one Mac will not fix the other Mac. I find this App very useful! Only wish the settings had more options! I personally find having 'Mail for Gmail' very convenient and useful, especially since I can have it open at all times while I'm on the computer working, and during the times I am on the Internet I don't have to stop, open a new tab, and login threw the website.

“Enter the password for the account “(null)”: Google requires completing authentication in Safari.” This takes users to a Google web login form. However, shortly after authenticating, the Mail app asks for authentication once again, and again, as the process does not stick and goes into an endless loop.
Please note that we contacted Apple regarding this issue, and we were told that Apple is currently working on a fix.
In the meantime, you can try the following fixes:
1– Changing your Gmail account’s security settings may fix this problem. Open Google’s My Account site (https://myaccount.google.com) and click Security (On the left navigation panel) and then scroll down and find the “Less secure app access” section and turn this on (note that Google recommends this OFF).
