You can still use your old GMX customer number to login.


My Mail.com accounts are coming back "Authentication Failed" when I poll them with POP3.

It looks like they have closed the loophole and POP3 access is now limited to premium clients only.

Something to check if you are background polling an account somewhere, like Gmail.
My email.com would not work today thru pop.
I could log in with webmail but WLM said password no good.
I had the incoming set thru GMX for quite some time and it always worked.
After changing GMX to pop.mail.com and changing port to 995 with SSL it works again.
Not an important address to me but one I have had since I had free NBC internet service
back around 1999.
