Use Gmail's SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com
First he has to add it to SeaMonkey.
Could you post the steps to achieve that, have the Gmail account use
it and not use the Default Frontier server.
Right !
I have more than once in this thread!!!
1) Edit > Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings
2) Scroll down in left panel to Outgoing Server (SMTP)
3) Click the Add... button
4) In fields enter:
Description: GMail
Server Name: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 587
Connection Security: STARTTLS
Authentication method: Password transmitted insecurely *
User Name: <your gmail address>
* This is really Normal Password, because of STARTTLS encrypted
communication to server is already established before password is sent.
(This is legacy way which I *know* works because I am currently using
it, but I noticed there is now option for OAuth2. I will convert my to
that option and update results)
5) Click OK
6) Back in Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings window in left pane click
on your GMail account and in right hand panel under Outgoing Server
(SMTP) droplist select GMail server just defined above.
7) Click OK
8) In your gmail account compose new email and try to send it, should
get password prompt to set and save password and now you should be able
to send email from SeaMonkey via gmail.
Now if you ant to use gmail's OAuth2
1) In the Outgoing Server (SMTP) section select the GMail server
previously defined.
2) Click the Edit button
3) Change Authentication method: from Password transmitted insecurely to
OAuth2
4) Click OK and then OK again to close setting dialogs
5) Compose a new test email on your gmail account to set the new
security protocol
6) When you click sent you will get a popup window stating from Google
that "Thunderbird" is trying to access your account. Put your gmail
address in the box and click Next
7) You will be prompted for your gmail password enter that and click Next
8) You will be asked to allow "Thunderbird" access to your account so
click Allow and that is it.
Now you will *send* Gmail using Gmail's SMTP server and not Frontier

Take care,
