There is a support note, if you can find it. Here’s the link. “Starting January 2026,” Google tells users of the world’s most popular email platform, "Gmail will no longer support checking emails from third-party accounts through POP. The option to ‘Check mail from other accounts’ will no longer be available in Gmail on your computer."
Gmail can be a much smarter tool if you enable its new AI features: Suggested Replies, Help Me Write, Proofread, AI Overviews, and AI Inbox are here.
NEW YORK — Google has made big changes to Gmail, the world’s most popular email service and now more than 2 billion users must decide how they want to use the updated platform. The changes mark one of the biggest shifts in Gmail in more than 20 years.
The update also expands Google’s “Help Me Write” tool, which has previously been a premium feature in Gmail but is now being made available to all users. It also gains enhanced tone-matching functionality, Google said, which means it’s capable of mimicking the user’s writing style to make its suggested emails more realistic.
