Hey there,

If you've made sure that all your settings are absolutely correct, but you still can't access your GMX account, it might help to completely delete the setting and configure it again, as one of our members mentioned to us. Sometimes, the applications hang up, especially with some mobile devices.

If you are using IMAP, this is no problem at all since the emails will not be lost. You will have to sync your GMX account with the email client, which may take some time, but that's about the only concern you'll have.

But if you use POP3, make sure that the emails are not deleted as well, only the settings.

Sincerely,

Your GMX Team
