Gmail set to drop POP3 mail fetching from other accounts

For people who like to have access to all of their emails in one handy location Gmail has long offered the facility to import messages from other accounts using POP3.

From this month that feature is going to be withdrawn. A note on Google’s support pages says, “Fetching emails from third-party accounts into your Gmail account, with POP, will no longer be supported.”
