"Google wants email clients to implement OAuth2.0-based authentication,
and has stated they intend to cause disruption (hassles) for users that
authenticate (login) using a username/password with the POP, IMAP, or
SMTP protocol. OAuth 2.0 requires the email client to launch a browser
to display a HTML form provided by Google (which can do anything they
want) , and then use a token that it returns."

I just ran into this and could not receive gmail via SeaMonkey. The
solution in my case was to enable "less secure apps".
Can anyone explain what this is all about?
