I'm getting the same nonsense from them, but I have more than 5 computers accessing the same account plus 2 phones. one is an android 6.0.1. I used to think Google was one of the good guys. Now, I'm not so sure. I have been a member of ACM since 1991. There should be a law that Google prominently post a contact phone number. Their hiding is unacceptable. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
