I have not heard of OAuth 2.0 - an open standard - is it not
compatible with seamonkey?
I don't know. According to
<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=849540>, Thunderbird has
supports it as of v. 38, so maybe it's coming to SeaMonkey.
I've tried changing the Server Settings / Authentication method of
my Gmail account (in SeaMonkey) to "OAuth2", and the first time I've
tried to open the Inbox I've been presented with a web form (in a
new window) to log in. Then I've been able to use my account from
SeaMonkey just like before, even when I've set my Google account to
not allow "less secure apps".
This appears o.k. but then I've found I'm not able to do the same
with my company account, which is also provided by Google but using
a dedicated domain name (the company domain). For some reason my
username in the OAuth2 login form is always changed to
<username>@gmail.com, rather than using <username>@<company_domain>
which appears to break the whole thing. It's interesting that a
colleague of mine using Thunderbird doesn't experience the same, and
is now using OAuth2 for accessing his company account from withing
Thunderbird.
