Here's part of the message I got from GMX when I had this problem:
he POP3/IMAP/SMTP protocols which are required for e-mail programs are deactivated by default for safety reasons. This is to prevent unauthorized persons from accessing your mailbox via POP3/IMAP/SMTP.
The protocols will also be deactivated if you have set up your GMX mailbox for use in an e-mail program before, but you have not used it for a longer period of time.
To use this function, you must set up the protocols or reactivate them in your mailbox settings. You will find step-by-step instructions in the GMX Help Section.
