How To Configure GMX Mail SMTP Settings?

Instead of accessing your GMX Mail account from a web browser, you can configure it in an email client using the POP/IMAP and SMTP settings. Now, let’s see the GMX mail SMTP settings.

Incoming Mail

IMAP and POP are incoming mail protocols. You can use either of them while configuring your email account in the email client. IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) - It allows you to access your mailbox in real-time with a stable Internet connection. Any actions like deleting or moving an email message will impact your email server. Using IMAP, you can access your email account from multiple email clients.

POP3 (Post Office Protocol Version 3) - It enables offline mode. All your emails will be moved from the email server to your email client. So, you cannot access your email account in more than one email client. 

Outgoing Mail

SMTP is the outgoing mail protocol. It is used for sending emails from your email client to the email server. The GMX mail SMTP settings are given below
