OK, now we are getting to something. Yeah, it seems that Seamonkey lost one or more of your mail passwords, or perhaps . That would account for it popping up requests for the password -- every time it attempts to connect to the mail server and fails. So, let's try a couple things. First, it's possible that there is a corrupted saved password keeping you from saving it anew. So we will attempt to get rid of that old, damaged password. Open Tools/Data Manager On the left pane, look for "gmail.com". Click to select it. On the right pane, select the "passwords" tab. Find the lines related to the troublesome account. Select them and click "remove" to delete them (there are probably two of them for each account: one for the POP server, and another for the SMTP server). Close Seamonkey, wait a few seconds to let it close completely, and reopen it. Now when downloading mail for this account. Seamonkey will prompt you for the correct password; this is normal. But, hopefully, now you should be able to tick the "save password" option and make it stick. Note that it will prompt you again the first time you send a message through that account; this could happen immediately, if you happen to have messages queued for sending. This is also normal, use that "save password" checkbox again. With a little bit of luck, Seamonkey should be accessing your mail accounts normally from now on. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
