Don't delete Apple Mail as it is part of the core Operating system and hard to install separately
Quit Apple Mail and before you re-open it you should plug out your network cable or disable wifi so you've no Internet connection.
When you open apple mail you should be able to work without the annoying alerts.
In preferences you should edit the smtp servers and re-enter the password for gmail
Also you may be able to delete emails in the outbox.
Now you can re-enable the Internet connection and see if it works.
If errors reappear repeat as above and choose a different smtp server for the gmail account
