Howdy, |

Early this morning Seamonkey could no longer fetch emails. It wouldn't |
| 4 |
accept the username and password. I did some searching and it seems |
| 5 |
that Google is disabling plain text username and password. Honestly, |
| 6 |
sounds like a good idea really. During my searches, most recommended |
| 7 |
OAuth2 so I switched to it. I'd never heard of it before but dove in |
| 8 |
head first. Turns out, easy enough. When I hit Get Msgs after changing |
| 9 |
the settings, it asked for the password and it started downloading |
| 10 |
emails. My first thought, yeppie!! |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
After a while, I noticed it wasn't downloading new emails |
| 13 |
automatically. I have it set to check for new messages every 10 minutes |
| 14 |
or so. I had to hit the Get Msgs button each time. I'd prefer it to do |
| 15 |
it automatically. I tried restarting Seamonkey and even changing the |
| 16 |
settings for doing it automatically, in case a config file needed |
| 17 |
updating after the switch, still doesn't do it automatically. I'm |
| 18 |
attaching a screenshot of the settings. |

Does using OAuth2 disable automatically fetching messages or am I |
| 21 |
missing some other setting? It worked fine until I switched to OAuth2 |
| 22 |
so I don't know what else it could be. Is there something better than |
| 23 |
OAuth2 that gmail supports? I just picked the first option I found. |

Thoughts?? |
