Using pop client with gmail

[SantaMonica Verified Sponsor]

Anyone have ideas about how to continue to use a pop email client with gmail? Seems they are going to try to cut off most clients, so that you have to use the webmail.

What is your goal with using pop? My understanding is you can get it to work but you have to turn off alot of security features to get it to work. I think you could use Outlook with IMAP.

Gmail.com (Google Mail) IMAP Server	imap.gmail.com
IMAP port	993
IMAP security	SSL
IMAP username	Your full email address
IMAP password	Your Gmail.com password

I have an old outlook, and have moved to a freeware version of Thunderbird, but now google sends a notice that the settings will soon stop working. So the goal is just to keep using the client for pop and hopefully also for outgoing smtp.

Well gmail has blocked pop downloading with my client. Never could send/upload. Can anyone else get pop mail with a client now?
