Previously, Gmail's convenient feature called "Check email from other accounts" enabled emails set up with POP3 to be readable using the Gmail website or app, with all Gmail’s features included. Now Google has indicated that support for this feature is deprecated.
If you were using Gmail to bring all your email accounts together—accessing emails from a Gmail account like me@gmail.com at the same time as accessing a third-party account like an email account you host with us—you will no longer be able to use Gmail to access emails using POP3. As it stands now, you have a decision to make and we've detailed your options in the blog.
