GMX IMAP Login Failure

For 3 days, I haven't been able to access my GMX email account. It tells me every time "Login to the server imap.gmx.com with username '[edited from public] @gmx.com' failed. I hadn't changed anything beforehand and all the entered data is correct. My other accounts like gmail, yahoo, works just fine. Tried installing older versions and still no success. Outlook app works fine either. I'm pretty sure that GMX mail server made some changes that Thunderbird is missing. Please verify.

Best regards

maybe, if you post complete error message and screenshots of incoming and outgoing server settings panes, that will be enough information to get suggestions

Here is some screenshots attached from connection error. Could you create an gmx mail account and then test it ?

I normally omit password during setup. also, my gmx account uses 587 and STARTTLS for the SMTP server.
