I have just learned that, beginning in 3 days, my employees will no longer be able to receive their work email. Apparently Google is dropping support for Gmail accounts being able to fetch mail from outside accounts. At all. And they announced this change less than 60 days ago.

I have this setup for “historical” purposes. Back in the day, freemailers gave you very little space. 20 MB or so. And if you wanted to mail several people, there were always two or three whose mailbox was full. That is something you’re not seeing anymore and Gmail is the reason for that and that is also the reason why Gmail became so successful. Gmail gave you 1GB (?) of space and you never ran into those problems again.
And it was a convenient way to switch accounts. Just setup Gmail to fetch everything from your old hotmail account and don’t bother with checking that one every few weeks so that it doesn’t get full and you might miss important mails.
I still have gmail polling my old hotmail//live addresses, and it’s been that way since the day I signed up. Back when the slogan was still “Don’t be evil”
TIL you can add IMAP and POP3 to Gmail to import your email.
Why would anyone with another email service WANT that? Do you like giving Google even more data than they already have on you?
