I ran into a failure a month or so ago. See thread titled "Seamonkey automatic email download after switch to Oauth2" that I started. I had to switch to Oauth2 to access my emails. The switch itself went well enough, just ran into another issue afterwards. I suspect you are going to have to change how it sends the user/password info as well. At least it is something you should check into. It may be something else. Google is switching off less secure methods to send the password and such. We got to adjust. >From what I've read, some don't like Oauth2 but I think it is all Google supports for now. I guess they are switching off by region or something. Others failed months ago, mine failed a month or so ago and now yours has failed. Hope that helps. If not, I tried. lol Dale :-) :-)
