Howdy,

Early this morning Seamonkey could no longer fetch emails.  It wouldn't
accept the username and password.  I did some searching and it seems
that Google is disabling plain text username and password.  Honestly,
sounds like a good idea really.  During my searches, most recommended
OAuth2 so I switched to it.  I'd never heard of it before but dove in
head first.  Turns out, easy enough.  When I hit Get Msgs after changing
the settings, it asked for the password and it started downloading
emails.  My first thought, yeppie!! 

After a while, I noticed it wasn't downloading new emails
automatically.  I have it set to check for new messages every 10 minutes
or so.  I had to hit the Get Msgs button each time.  I'd prefer it to do
it automatically.  I tried restarting Seamonkey and even changing the
settings for doing it automatically, in case a config file needed
updating after the switch, still doesn't do it automatically.  I'm
attaching a screenshot of the settings. 

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

Thoughts??
