GMX Mail - Smtp Server.

Hello folks,

I'm new here and wonder if someone can help me with something please.

I wanted to try out Gmx mail (the English and not German version here: http://www.gmx.co.uk/) as I worry a little about Gmail's snooping charter.

I use The Bat email client and set up pop3/smtp servers accordingly and enabled the use of pop3 in my Gmx webmail options.

Pop3 works fine but I just can't get the smtp server to work on either port 467/ssl or 587/start tls. They either don't connect or keep timing out.

I tried Gmx support for help but they just emailed me a copy of exactly the set up instructions that are on the website so that was a waste of time.

I'm using: mail.gmx.com as the smtp server.

Is anyone one here using the service and if so can you tell me if the smtp server works for you please.

At the moment I use the smtp server of my isp but it uses port 25 which is not secure so I'm not too happy about it, but they are going through the process of upgrading. When it happens though is unclear.

Any help in getting Gmx to work would be appreciated.

Thanks...Colin
