Have you tried their instructions in their help section: POP3 and SMTP: http://help.gmx.com/mail/overview/pop3/thunderbird/?si=7twbf.1lDFgt.1fF3YE.l** Or, IMAP and SMTP: http://help.gmx.com/mail/overview/pop3/thunderbird_imap/?si=7twbf.1lDFgt.1fF3YE.l** I don't use them, but their instructions seem the same as many other providers. I don't know what you read about doing in their forums. But did it include adding your logon details into your SMTP settings, and in the manner that the ISP expects? It would appear to use your email address as the username, and your mail program should prompt you to type in a password the first time it tries to use their SMTP server. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.9-73.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
