Can´t receive mail anymore: Connection failed; timeout on port 110

Hi.

Mail 2.0.5 worked fine untill few days (maybe correlating with a security update). I didn´t change anything else.
Showing Connection Failed. ...Timeout on Port 110.

Still CAN SEND mail. But not receive anymore.

After deleting the com.apple.mail.plist and configuring now showing:

The POP server “mail.gmx.net” is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the “Incoming Mail Server” field. If it still doesn’t respond, the server might be temporarily unavailable.

Thanks for your help!

Hallo Steffka,

welcome to Apple Discussions.

Please check your account settings. GMX states:

- POP3-Serveradresse: pop.gmx.net
- SMTP-Serveradresse: smtp.gmx.net
- SMTP erfordert Authentifizierung: ja
- POP3-Login/Konto: Ihre GMX Kundennummer
- POP3-Passwort: Ihr GMX-Passwort
- Absenderadresse: Ihre GMX E-Mail-Adresse

Anstelle von smtp.gmx.net ist auch mail.gmx.net erlaubt.

So, mail.gmx.net is not your POP server.
