Oh crap. Gmail is deprecating support for picking up mail from a remote server using POP3 polling in January 😭 Given that I switched to this mode due to reliability problems with direct delivery via mail forwarding, this really sucks...

update on the POP3pocalypse. it appears that the most likely thing to work in the future will be to use SMTP forwarding to gmail with ARC headers added to the mails, going by comments on @jwz@mastodon.social 's post at: https://www.jwz.org/blog/2025/12/today-in-google-broke-email-2/#comment-265285 , and it looks like there is a rather complex Postfix/OpenARC setup that may do the job. really looking forward to having to do this soon

@jmason@mastodon.ie IMAP is still an option, as is moving away from Google ;)
