So, my mom, has an "upstairs Mac" and "downstairs Mac" both set-up for
SeaMonkey to "get messages" from the same @gmail.com address.
They both retrieve all the same messages every day (for years now), to
help her remember things, and save her the precariousness of carrying a
computer up or down stairs.
Today she tells me the downstairs Mac didn't get any of the messages
that the upstairs one did.
Did Google change something or was this a glitch in the matrix today,

I set up both Mac machines exactly the same, about four years
ago....don't really recall all that much about it....100% of the time it
is not a Mac or SM problem. IME....so I figure somebody else should have
experienced this.
I have time later to do testing, but figured I'd ask first.
Anyone?

One thing to check in the settings is to make sure both systems are *not
polling GMail at the exact same time*. If this occurs, it's entirely
possible that GMail would see an abnormal number of simultaneous
connections from your IP address and blocked the second system from
connecting.
Earlier this year, I had a similar problem, although not with SeaMonkey
or Gmail, where a new Android e-mail app I was trying, unexpectedly
caused an excessive number of connections to a provider's IMAP server
all at once, which (1) exceeded the connection limit and (2) resulted in
the account becoming temporarily locked. The app in question was
establishing connections with /every IMAP folder/, which I was told it
should not have been doing.
Hope this helps.
