I've been using Seamonkey mail as my primary email client for a long time. My main email account is a gmail account, which has been in existence for a long time as well.

Twice since I installed 2.49.1, I've had messages from Gmail saying that someone tried to use my password from an unknown device. In both cases, Seamonkey had been running against the gmail account for a period of hours at least. One instance was my laptop, then today I got a similar warning regarding my desktop machine (which runs Seamonkey mail all the time).

In both instances, once I confirmed that the IP used for the "attempt" was my own IP, things have gone back to normal.

Is anyone else seeing this sort of error? It may be that Google has done something to change its security, but it does seem odd that I've only seen the error since I installed the latest version, and it also seems odd that Google can't identify the device, even though it normally shows that I'm accessing the account from a Linux based machine. At the time, the only thing accessing the Gmail account would have been Seamonkey...

I've also got another IMAP account which is behaving a little oddly. I access it both with Seamonkey mail and through a webmail interface (the webmail interface is the most recent version of Horde). Suddenly, any time I attempt to use the webmail interface from Seamonkey, it is reporting that the browser doesn't support javascript or javascript is disabled. I've not changed anything, and I was able to access the webmail interface after the upgrade to 2.49.1. I can still access it correctly in Chromium or Firefox - its only Seamonkey that has the problem.

I'm using the official Arch Linux Seamonkey build:

User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0 SeaMonkey/2.49.1
Build identifier: 20171107205422

Paul.
