Can POPcon download email from Gmail accounts?

Yes. For accounts using a password (legacy access — may need to enable "Less secure app access" or use an App Password in Google):

  • Server type: POP3-SSL
  • Server: pop.gmail.com
  • Port: 995
  • Username: full Gmail address
  • Password: Gmail password or App Password

For modern authentication (recommended): Use IMAP with OAuth2 instead. See the Gmail OAuth2 guide for step-by-step instructions, and the guide Fetching Gmail and Google Workspace mail into Exchange over IMAP with OAuth2 for what Google changed and when.
