How are you handling Gmail ending POP3 and Gmailify?


Starting January 2026, Gmail is removing support for POP3 and Gmailify. This means millions of people who rely on Gmail to consolidate emails from other accounts will suddenly lose features like spam protection, inbox categories, and advanced search on their third-party emails.

If you manage multiple email accounts, how are you planning to keep all your emails flowing smoothly to Gmail or elsewhere? Are you switching to forwarding, using other clients, or something else entirely?

Would love to hear how the community is adapting to this change.

Think alot would be changing to forwarding if they want to maintain a similar setup.

Some previous discussion with mentions of that:

Gmail will no longer support checking emails from third-party accounts via POP
