HI!

I hope someone out there knows Seamonkey better than I.
I installed Seamonkey recently and it's mostly working.

The problem I'm having is I've got three GMial accounts (just seemed like a good idea way back when).
The third one just won't connect.
I keep getting a message that it can't connect, check all mysettings, etcetera.
I checked and double checked, and even deleted that email account and redid it from scratch.
Still no joy.

Apart from the ID and password, I have the server settings the same as my other two GMail accounts, which work fine.
Does anyone know if there's a wee hiccup in Seamonkey dealing with too many GMail accounts?

Or is there some setting in my GMail account itself I've missed.
I set my account to accept less secure log-ins, in case that was the problem.
But still no luck.

If anyone out there could give me a nudge in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Along with less secure logins being on in Gmail. Is the option to enable either pop or imap also set?

Well, NOW it's working!
__{{emoticon}}__

I thought the"Less Secure Apps" option was saved as"on", but apparently not.

So, I logged on to that gmail account, set it to on, stayed logged on through the Seamonkey browser, then tried the Semonkey email client, and voilĂ !
It worked!

Thanks for the help.
I'd probably still be stuck if I wasn't looking through the settings, again, as you suggested.

Oh well, "Good things come to he who waits"
Or something along those lines.

Thanks again for responding!
