I have several accounts with GMX. Two work, and the other two display the above error message. Everything works when I log in via a browser, but not in Thunderbird. The account settings are identical for all four accounts except for the password and username.

What can I do?

Thank you in advance.

Just a reminder: I think you must specify online that you want to use POP.

Hello there 🎅

Can you screenshot the situation? You can start up in trouble/safe modes to change and enable these functions to.
