Q: anyone who has been able to set up an GMX mail in their mail box?

I currently am using Mountain Lion (10.8.5) on my MAcBook and am unable to set up my gmx mail account in my mail box which has been rejecting my legitimate and correct password. I also had the same problem with newer versions

10.11. etc.

 

Would love to know if anyone has been successful in setting up an gmx account in their mail box?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

    Hi,

     

    Are you settimg it up POP3...

     

    http://email.about.com/od/gmxmailtips/f/GMX_Mail_POP3_Server_Settings.htm

     

    Or IMAP?

     

    https://help.gmx.com/en/applications/imap.html

     

    You may have multiple entries.

     

    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, enter the part after the @ sign in the search bar, hit enter

     

    The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...

     

    This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, more than one entry in Keychain for each in/out entry, or a server end problem.

     

    If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.

     

    The receiving email ports are:

     

    IMAP is port 143

    IMAP-SSL is port 993

    POP is port 110

    POP-SSL is port 995

    Outgoing ports are...

    SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.
