I looked at the outgoing mail server and it says smtp.gmail.com:weikelbob(at)gmail.com

That look correct. Could I not have my password set correctly?

I tried deleting and restarting, but I got the same popups.

I've got about 200 popups. I can't do much

Correction, I let them all come up. There's over 4000 popups.

Is there any way to delete the mail program and reinstall it so that I can get to the preferences?

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
