If you know your settings were working before, try a reboot before changing anything.

If you need to re-enter details manually then ok.

I have only ever had problems when agreeing to the automated 'Repair settings?' box (iOS more than OS X).

This. If the login details were working before then it is some other problem.

Check your mail account settings are correct in Mail>Preferences>Accounts.

If you have 2 factor authentication enabled for your Google account (and if not, why?!), you may need to set up an application password:
