If you use an older client you may need to use an “app password” to access the mail.

Microsoft sent out emails in early July about this change. Pop3 access is still possible but now requires OAuth2 authentication. However, Google hasn’t updated their account import wizard in gmail to include OAuth2. My guess is they probably won’t.
