How about this for an email client for Gmail as a SM replacement? Have not 
tried it but it looks
interesting

To be certain the Mozilla "Seamonkey extensions" site is completely USELESS (as 
much of Mozilla has become in general) since it will show results it *claims* 
are SM-compatible, yet when you go to the extension page there's an obnoxious 
"Firefox-only, please download Firefox" button.  Hate to think I'll have to go 
through the entire nuisance of migrating my brother to FF, because I *know* he 
will hate the boneheaded way they;re doing things there, and I'll have to hear 
him profusely complaining on what blatant jackasses the FF devs are (that will 
be what he says, I'm not adding my own commentary there).  Same thing goes for 
Thunderbird, with the added problem that TB is in the same shaky situation as 
SM.

Don't like Chrome, and there's no equivalent email client for them.

Is addons.mozilla.org non-webextension-friendly, or should we start
looking elsewhere for Seamonkey-compatible extensions made available by
authors who create both versions (or who only develop a non-webextension
version)?

So the problem will exist when SM will upgrade to a certains point ...

Will that means that all Plugins will cease functionning ?



Plugins are Flash, Silverlight and so on.

Extensions are uBlock Origin, NoScript and the like.

uBlock Origin web extension won't work in SeaMonkey, nor will any other web 
extension.


Users will be stuck using old XUL extensions and won't get any updates.

How can I check, in my SM, which installed plugins and/or Extensions are in 
problem or are not in problem ?
