Gmail preparing to drop POP3 mail fetching

Starting January 2026, Gmail will no longer provide support for the following features:

• Gmailify: This feature allows you to get special features like spam protection or inbox organization applied to your third-party email account.
• Check mail from other accounts: Fetching emails from third-party accounts into your Gmail account, with POP, will no longer be supported.

If you still use POP3 and it stops working, you know why.
