hello

thank you for being here

i need help with something easy apparently... i am just trying to connect my pop gmail account to seamonkey and there is no success. i am not really a n00b tho and this is frustrating

after entering all the settings, and choosing OAuth, there is no window popup anytime to ask me to log in

and seamonkey acts as if it is connecting to my email successfully without a password but there is no data being transferred

is there a step i am missing?

any leads are welcome!

thank you :)

catalina: any of noscript, ublock or the like?

I don't use oauth myself, but I think there were two possible issues, one noscript/ublock/... and the other with the stored .userName and .realUserName (but this one would make more sense if you had the account working in the past, I think?)

the latter should be solved in 2.53.11.1, for the former IIRC you just need to temporarily disable those extensions while you perform the first-time oauth 2.0 interaction

There are other settings which were mentioned in the newsgroup (cookies, password saving?), but if you do have such extensions, first try to disable them to see if that's enough.

@njsg i dont believe there are any active extensions... this is a fresh install from the latest available package

it also doesnt let me enter a password at any time either encripted or nonencrypted

i am a noob to seamonkey, but not a noob to linux... somehow i cant find the info you mentioned in the googlegroup. i am unable to open the newsgroup. thanks for the reply!

catalina Maybe try imap first and see if this works. I never tested pop but it should work according to some support group postings lately. Make sure you use a recent 2.53.11 even for new profiles. In theory should work since 2.53.8 or so but not sure.

catalina: fresh install *and* fresh profile? (as extensions can come from the install and from the profile)

(but will always end up listed in the add-ons manager the same way, I think)

javascript and cookies enabled? (and is this from an official SeaMonkey release package, just to rule out some customization?)
