I've tried changing the Server Settings / Authentication method of

SeaMonkey just like before, even when I've set my Google account to
not allow "less secure apps".
This appears o.k. but then I've found I'm not able to do the same
with my company account, which is also provided by Google but using
a dedicated domain name (the company domain). For some reason my
username in the OAuth2 login form is always changed to
<username>@gmail.com, rather than using <username>@<company_domain>
which appears to break the whole thing. It's interesting that a
colleague of mine using Thunderbird doesn't experience the same, and
is now using OAuth2 for accessing his company account from withing
Thunderbird.
The Oauth2 code is 100% shared with Thunderbird. It's also 100% written
by the Thunderbird developers, so everything should work identically. It
might be down to the settings made by the admin of your company Google
account.
Intresting tidbit: During development, Several Thunderbird developers
wanted to their Oauth2 option to be labelled "less secure Google
authentication".
:-) Good one!
But Oauth2 option is still not available in SeaMonkey yet, right? If so
I do not see the option in 2.40.
