If you try to move emails from an old Gmail account to a new one using POP forwarding, you may be one of the unfortunate people who encounter this error message:
Server denied POP3 access for the given username and password.
You may ask yourself: “Why doesn’t POP forwarding work in my gmail account” or “Why is POP3 access denied”?
Unfortunately, it is one of the Google bugs with which many people have problems for many different reasons.
If you’re tired of searching for solutions on the Internet, think of VaultMe, a new Google to Google migration service that you can use for Gmail, Contacts, Google Drive, Calendar and more.

Enable POP forwarding
It is important that POP forwarding is enabled for both email accounts before attempting to forward messages. Therefore, we will enable POP redirection in this step. For that:
- Start your browser and open a new tab.
- Once you have entered your account credentials, log in to Gmail.
- Click on the speed preference in the upper right corner.
- Select “Settings” and click on the “Forward and POP/IMAP” button.
- Select “Enable POP for all emails” or “Enable POP for emails that now arrive” according to your needs.
- Click on the “Save Changes” button to configure your settings.
Use a device-specific password
If you have configured two-factor authentication for the e-mail, the normal password may not work for verification in the new e-mail. Therefore, in this step, we will generate a device-specific password to bypass security. For that:
- Log in to your “Zoho Mail” account.
- Click on the “My Account” button at the top of the page to see the current Zoho accounts.
- Select the Two-Factor Authentication button and the Manage Application-Specific Password option.
- Enter the device name and the current password.
- Click Generate and a password is displayed.
- Use this new password in the new email to access the POP redirection of the old account.
