My usual POP access to my G-Mail was blocked this AM, with a message
referring me to the following explanation:
If an app or device doesn’t meet our security standards, Google will
block anyone who tries to sign in from that app or device. Because
these apps and devices are easier to break into, blocking them helps
keep your account safe.
Some examples of apps that do not support the latest security
standards include:
The Mail app on your iPhone or iPad with version 6 or below
The Mail app on your Windows phone preceding the 8.1 release
Some Desktop mail clients like Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla
Thunderbird
What exactly is Google considering insecure about Mozilla-based mail
clients?
To restore access I had to change a G-Mail setting to allow access by
insecure apps.
Or you could have switched authentication method to OAuth2. SeaMonkey
supports it now.

Take care,
