RFC 5322 requires that your
Personal Name @ Gmail <[email protected]>
instead be
"Personal Name @ Gmail" <[email protected]>.
The quotes are required because the display name (Personal Name @ Gmail)
contains the restricted character @ ("special character" in the
terminology used in the RFC).
While some E-mail clients might handle
Personal Name @ Gmail <[email protected]>
without quoting the display name, such applications are not required to
do so.

I am sticking with SeaMonkey 2.26.1 until saved passwords can
be used when autocomplete=off. See
