Apple introduced new authentication support for Gmail in 10.10.3. However, existing POP accounts will not have this authorization.
Go to System Preferences -> Internet Accounts. Click on each Gmail account that has your POP3 accounts in them. Google's two-factor / OAuth page should automatically pop up. After allowing permission to your account through this interface, the SASL error should disappear and fetching mail should no longer be stuck.

The OAuth page does not automatically pop up, where can I find it.
