Email solution sir. Free or affordable.

I have not receive any notification either. I use POP3 to get my email from Gmail using Claws Mail.

gmail stop pop? no. i don't think so.
gmail just won't fetch email from other mailbox via pop protocol.

That is my thoughts as well.

Read the information at the link in the first post.

I did, this is my take on it.
I use a third party client (Claws Mail) I don't use POP within Gmail.

Until I am sent a noticification from Gmail that POP3 protocol will no longer be supported or until I find out in January of 2026 I will stick with POP3.

Yes, this is about using POP from Gmail to check mail on other accounts. Not sure if there will be any changes to POP access the other way. Also, Gmailify for checking mail from other accounts will be going away.

POP3 (direct access to Gmail) is not deprecated.

POP Fetcher is deprecated for business accounts of Google Worksapce.

Private users of Gmail did not receive this warning and it is not clear if POP Fetcher will continue to work for them.

In case it stops forking, I can use my account at mailbox.org or zoho.com to collect emails from other pop accounts and will forward all collected emails to any email address I want.

The Gmail help article indicates that POP Checkmail is ending for all Gmail users, including private free ones. https://support.google.com/mail/answer/16604719?hl=en

Why would Google email none paying customers a warning?

Because they always did it in the past.

Also, I am a paying cusomer (2 TB storage).

I was wrong: Zoho and mailbox.org do not support POP Fetch as Google. They actually do not support it at all.

Possible solutions:

Runbox (around $30/year): supports Pop Fetch, but its UI is ugly, rules are not robust and can be used for one or two POP3 account fetches. Otherwise, it becomes too complicate to maintain.

Fastmail ($60/year): supports IMAP fetch (not POP3), robust rules/filters. It may not work with some Gmail IMAP accounts with tens of thousands messages.

Inbox.lv (Latvia, free): supports POP3 and IMAP4 fetch but blocked by Google from OAUTH authentication ("not secure app"), only two external POP3 accounts allowed.

I created Fastmail account, 5 fetched accounts added, everything works.
