Can I still access my gmail mail account by POP3 from Outlook 2021?

Hi,

after Google closed down less secure apps (incl. Outlook2013), I upgraded to Outlook 2021 and believed all had been solved.

At the beginning of June from a day to another Outlook was not able for some reason to connect to my gmail accounts anymore through POP3.

I tried to redefine the account settings in Outlook from scratch and checked my logging data many times in Gmail, but it did not work anymore. In the end, I resigned and used IMAP. It forced me to attend several Inboxes account by account, simply stupid!
Now I copy all incoming and outgoing messages to my Inbox and Sent mail folders by using Outlook rules to have them in one place with non-gmail POP-based mail accounts, but it is really stupid. I've got all the gmail messages once in ost and then in pst files, and also there are other negative side-effects (duplication).
Does anyone know a better way? Can I still connect to gmail by POP from Outlook?
Where did I get lost?

Thanks and regards, Petr
