communication to server is already established before password is
sent. (This is legacy way which I *know* works because I am currently
using it, but I noticed there is now option for OAuth2. I will convert
my to that option and update results)
Okay as promised I set GMail SMTP server to newer OAuth2 security and
here is how it goes:
1) In the Outgoing Server (SMTP) section select the GMail server
previously defined.
2) Click the Edit button
3) Change Authentication method: from Password transmitted insecurely to
OAuth2
4) Click OK and then OK again to close setting dialogs
5) Compose a new test email on your gmail account to set the new
security protocol
6) When you click sent you will get a popup window stating from Google
that "Thunderbird" is trying to access your account. Put your gmail
address in the box and click Next
7) You will be prompted for your gmail password enter that and click Next
8) You will be asked to allow "Thunderbird" access to your account so
click Allow and that is it.
Now you can compose and send emails in SeaMonkey and you can do your
inline images. In fact for support instructions I have embedded little
partial screen captures not from files but clipboard buffers simply be
pasting in email.
Jonathan, no need for all that. My Gmail account in SeaMonkey works
exactly like any other mail servers I have. No problem inserting images
in emails.
