  3. So #Google (and #GMail by extension) are removing #GMailify for #POP3 imports.
    Sure, no worries.

    I've just downloaded and installed #Thunderbird
    Not used this in years. Man, hasn't this app/software got so good over time?
    Blown away...

  5. Gmail dejará de permitir la gestión de cuentas externas mediante POP3

    En un movimiento que busca priorizar la seguridad y la modernización de su servicio, Google ha anunciado que Gmail dejará de ser compatible con el protocolo POP3 para gestionar correos de cuentas externas. Esta decisión obligará a millones de usuarios que centralizan sus correos de otros proveedores en Gmail a buscar alternativas más seguras como IMAP o la vinculación mediante Gmailify.

    Gmail se prepara para un cambio técnico de gran calado que afectará la forma en que muchos usuarios gestionan sus bandejas de entrada. El protocolo POP3 (Post Office Protocol), que durante décadas ha permitido descargar correos de servidores externos para leerlos en Gmail, será desactivado de forma definitiva. Según Google, el protocolo POP3 es «obsoleto» y presenta vulnerabilidades de seguridad significativas, ya que no fue diseñado para las exigencias de cifrado y autenticación de la web moderna.

    A partir de la fecha de implementación, los usuarios que tengan configuradas cuentas de Outlook, Yahoo o dominios personalizados mediante POP3 en su configuración de Gmail dejarán de recibir nuevos mensajes. Google recomienda realizar la transición al protocolo IMAP, que ofrece una sincronización bidireccional más robusta, o utilizar Gmailify, la herramienta propia de la compañía que permite disfrutar de las funciones de protección contra spam y organización de Gmail en cuentas de terceros sin necesidad de protocolos antiguos.

    Este cambio es parte de un esfuerzo más amplio de Google por eliminar tecnologías heredadas que suponen un riesgo para la privacidad de los datos. Aunque la medida pueda generar molestias temporales para quienes han utilizado la misma configuración por años, la empresa asegura que es un paso necesario para garantizar un entorno de correo electrónico más seguro. Se espera que en las próximas semanas Gmail comience a mostrar avisos dentro de la aplicación a los usuarios afectados para que realicen la migración antes del cierre definitivo del servicio.

  7. #Gmail preparing to drop #POP3 #email fetching
    It's January 2026, and #Google is finding innovative new ways to make one of its services worse
    The company hasn't exactly gone out of its way to call attention to this – like actually telling anybody anything. The news appears in a support note with a sign on the door saying "Learn about upcoming changes to #Gmailify & POP in Gmail."

  9. This doesn't affect me, but I thought others might want to know since Google hasn't really announced it. Google has dropped POP3 email consolidation and gmailify services from Gmail. IMAP is still ok.

    No explanation, but likely because passwords in POP3 are sent in plain text.

  11. @nelson @tknarr @jmason

    I wrote github.com/ScottESanDiego/gmai to work around this, using exim and fetchmail to get things into #gmail . It's working REALLY WELL so far, with all the usual filters and stuff, just as when using #gmailify .

    Problem is that it uses "restricted" API calls which means annual code security reviews which I'm not going to do ($$) OR renew the auth every seven days. My app is "in production" so the token isn't expiring, not sure what happens when I fail to do a code review.

  13. I think I have a good fetchmail/exim/gmail-api-transport system setup now that would make the #gmailify demise painless.

    All contingent on how often #google makes me reauth for an API key/token. "Never" would be a pretty good answer.

    Does anyone have a good way to send an email alert when the token soon can't be renewed? (I think I know how to do this with AWS, but haven't looked into it with GCP)

  15. Decided to have #claude help me solve my problem of #gmailify going away by writing a tool to submit messages to #gmail via their REST API.

    So far working okay for me. #Exim calls it for some specific delivery needs, and poof, message shows up in Gmail, filters applied and everything.

  17. Gmail 明年起終止 POP3 郵件接收 記得修改第三方郵箱自動收件設定
    Google 宣布 Gmail 將於 2026 年 1 月 1 日起停止支援 POP3(郵局協定)功能,同時終止 Gmailify 服務。這項變更將影響使用 POP3 協定從第三方郵件伺服器存取郵件的用戶,包括透過 Gmail 網頁版「從其他帳戶檢查郵件」功能匯入外部郵件的使用者。

  18. Started experimenting with imapsync as a replacement for gmailify. Feels like it'll work, and I may use it instead of SMTP forwarding with SRS for another account if it does.

    Annoyed that I even have to deal with this.

  20. #Google Is Ending #Gmailify and #POP Support - Slashdot

    …January 2026, forcing users who rely on these features to switch to #IMAP.

    These changes only affect future emails. Emails that have already been synchronized in the #Gmail account will remain the same. External accounts can still be used in the Gmail app, but only via IMAP. Google also recommends that users with work or education accounts contact their administrators if a #GoogleWorkspace migration is needed

  24. Really annoyed with the impending #google removal of #gmailify . That's how I deal with email since forever, since I don't have or want a good #gmail address (I do have good email addresses for domains I want to use)

    Now my choice is basically if I want to give up on Google for anything email related, or hope accepting forwarded messages gets better (unlikely).

    Ugh. I'd pay for gmailify.

  26. Lilbits: A playable LEGO Game Boy, Gmail is ending POP support, Microsoft & Amazon announce game streaming updates

    This summer LEGO and Nintendo began taking pre-orders for a 421-piece LEGO Game Boy kit that lets you assemble an accurate looking model of the classic handheld game console. The only thing missing? Working parts.

    But one hardware hacker has been working on a custom mainboard, display, and other components that transforms a LEGO Game Boy from a model into a playable game system. It’s still a […]
