I have accidentally deleted my IMAP password from my key chain, therefore i can no longer access my emails using mail.  I can access my email through my Gmail account no problem, so how do i fix this as i cannot remember my IMAP password.

I have accidentally deleted my IMAP password from my key chain, as a result i cannot access my google email using the Mac Mail.  I cannot remember what the password was for IMAP, so can anyone help to resolve this.  i can access my mail by going directly to Google Mail.

The password for use in the Mail application would be the same password you use when accessing Gmail by using an internet browser. The exception to that would be if you have 2-step verification enabled for Gmail. If that is the case then you would need to use an "application-specific password." If you are using 2-step, you can revoke the previous application-specific password and get a new one as described in https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en
