Description

END OF LIFE 2027 https://support.google.com/mail/answer/16604719 This extension will automate the refresh of emails from the third-party server to your Gmail every minute. There is no need to do anything else. If you are using Gmail POP3 emails to retrieve emails from other email accounts, you may have noticed that it sometimes checks for new emails very slowly. With Gmail POP3 Auto Refresh, you can refresh an unlimited number of POP3 email accounts at a rate of one minute for free. It will open Gmail on the right page and automatically refresh POP3 emails. Just leave this page open and open a new one to view your emails which will finally be up to date! You can change the refresh time, the user selected and the class for selector with the options of the extension. Feedback and comments are welcome. Feel free to contact me at contact@evanjuge.fr if you have any problems. I will see your email very soon because I use my own extension!

Was working fine but is now asking for new permissions to read browsing history. What is the reason this permission is needed?

This has never worked for me. Even opening setting myself to the fetch-button setting page wont make it work. P.S. In my context I have multiple gmail accounts opened in the session, might be why...

It's not working for me. I even have another window open with my settings page open. It's still an hour or more for fetching emails.

Works good, but after last update I always get multiple tabs open (even 4,5 tabs) and it's quite annoying. It would be great to have that bug fixed. Thank you!

Why is it opening many Settings tabs? I end up with like 5 gmail tabs open. only one of them is my inbox.

Why sometime it doesn't check about one hour?

Not really a solution (What about GMAIL on mobile apps? / Web browser) - without any warning in the setting ("hello we will not check pop3 bye bye"). But for desktop works fine (Google should be a shame for this MEGA BUG).

I've ran several emails through this extension and it works as described. In my view, the extension is "under developed" by the fact that you must launch the extension, by clicking on it top right each time you want it to work with Gmail and, that the browser tab that opens as a result, must stay open during the time you want the extension to work. That part seems like it could be better developed. I noticed that after manually launching the extension once - then closing out Chrome and relaunching Chrome again, the browser tab for the extension automatically launched by itself. At that time I hadn't even logged into my gmail account yet. That practice worries me and feels like it has privacy challenges.
