Google announced it will gradually stop some support features for third-party email accounts in Gmail. Starting this month, Gmail will cease to continuously fetch emails from third-party email accounts using the POP3 standard, and plans to remove the Gmailify feature for third-party accounts by January 2026.
Currently, the Gmail web version allows users to add up to five non-Gmail accounts (such as Yahoo or iCloud, but not including Outlook) and provides spam protection, automatic categorization of emails, and advanced search capabilities for these accounts. Google recommends users switch to automatic forwarding features offered by third-party email providers as an alternative, but not all email services support this function. Yahoo Mail even includes this as part of a $5 monthly paid subscription.

Outlook is still better, as most can be added, and if Proton Mail could also be added to third-party accounts, that would be great.
