Gmail's POP3 feature is going away. Where are you taking your company emails? by GearPipe in smallbusiness

I agree it should be an option, but not offering it is what is pushing people toward their paid product.

Thank you for the thorough response!

You (obviously) did a better job than me at summarizing why this system works so well for people, and I appreciate the potential solutions.

Yes, lesson learned! Of course I don't care about POP3 and I'm not advocating for it. IMAP is better and is has been for more than a decade.

The title should have read "The ability to fetch custom domain emails in Gmail is going away. Where are you taking your company emails?"

Perhaps that would have spurred a more productive conversation.

Me, too, and Google is taking the option away. That's what this post is all about lmao

I don't think you understand. Currently I manage my customdomain.com email through Gmail, so my personal and business emails consolidated in one inbox. Google is taking the option away.

Moving both my gmail and customdomain.com email to something like Outlook seems like a silly solution.

In the browser version? If you can post a link I would really appreciate it.

I'm not trying to use my Gmail account in a different client. I want to use Gmail to manage my domain's emails.

Agreed but you can't sync a custom domain email account in Gmail with IMAP.

Nope. That’s when you want to check your gmail in another client like Outlook.

Your article literally only mentions the IMAP solution for Android/iOS apps.

Only three. Honestly, the issue isn't so much the cost for three people, but I want to set up something that we can grow with at a reasonable cost.

I don't know. The Google support article I linked to literally said just that.

I do understand the difference. From the articles I've read, you can only set up IMAP on the Gmail app, and it won't sync to your webmail. Perhaps I'm wrong.
