How is google mail still supporting a "fetch" via IMAP of mails stored in a third party service? What are the settings to poke on mail.google.com for this?

The announcement clearly says that "Check mail from other accounts" will disappear. They say it's about POP, but if the entire feature disappears, then it's not just about POP.

> Starting January 2026, Gmail will no longer provide support for the following:

> POP: Unlike IMAP connections, with POP, emails are downloaded, and you decide how often you want to download new emails.
