Please consider finding a way to check other email accounts via Imap via Oauth/Desktop rather than just eliminating Gmailify and Pop. ( Learn about upcoming changes to Gmailify & POP in Gmail - Gmail Help ) I understand the desire to end the Pop function, but it seems a total failure of the imagination to not be able to come up with the ability to check email via Imap/Oauth within Gmail on the web and not just in the app. Being able to do so in just the mobile client is NOT enough and neither is email forwarding. (I believe it is also the function to import email if you switch to a new account. I assume that will still be available?) Please reconsider this. You should be adding/upgrading functions to Gmail (and not just AI) rather than eliminating them.

Does anyboy know if the POP3 elimination will apply to google workspace accounts or only to gmail consumer accounts?
Yes, I’ve gotten the notification in email accounts in Google Workspace accounts just this week. Please reconsider this Google. Why should I have to pay for some new third party service for this functionality https://mailbridge.app/ rather than Google coming up with some new version of Gmailify that works with Imap/oauth?
I can accept—not happily, but I can—the removal of this feature in a consumer Gmail account, but in a Workspace account, it’s frustrating.
