Tips:

• Make sure you have enabled POP3 access in your Gmail account settings.
• If you're using a Gmail account with 2-Step Verification, you'll need to generate an App Password and use that instead of your regular password.
• Keep in mind that using POP3 may not be the most secure way to access your Gmail account, as it sends your password in plain text. If security is a concern, consider using IMAP or another email client that supports more secure protocols.
