Gmail discontinued POP3 fetching in 2026

Get your external email in Gmail again.

Pop3Fetch automatically imports emails from any external account directly into your Gmail inbox — just like Gmail's built-in fetcher used to do.

Free plan available · No credit card required · Setup in 2 minutes

Set up in minutes.
Runs forever.

01

Connect your Gmail

Sign in with Google. We request write-only access — Pop3Fetch can only add emails to your inbox, never read what's already there.

02

Add your external account

Enter your external email address and password. Works with any provider — Yahoo, Outlook, IONOS, GoDaddy, cPanel, corporate mail servers, and more.

03

Emails arrive automatically

Pop3Fetch checks your external account every 10 minutes and imports new emails directly into Gmail. Headers, attachments, everything intact.

Everything Gmail's fetcher
had. And more.

🔒

Write-only Gmail access

We can only add emails to your inbox. We cannot read, search, or delete anything already there. OAuth-secured, revocable anytime.

📎

Full attachment support

Attachments are imported alongside your emails — PDFs, images, documents, everything arrives intact in your Gmail inbox.

✉️

Headers preserved exactly

Emails appear exactly as sent — correct From address, To address, subject, and date. No forwarding artifacts or header mangling.

Works with any provider

If your email host supports IMAP — and almost all do — Pop3Fetch can import from it. Yahoo, Outlook, cPanel, IONOS, and more.

🔄

Automatic & continuous

Set it up once and forget it. Pop3Fetch runs 24/7 in the background, checking for new emails and importing them automatically.

🛡️

Secure credential storage

Your external email password is encrypted at rest. We use industry-standard security practices to keep your credentials safe.

Simple, honest pricing.
