Thunderbird doesn't sync with GMX - times out

Thunderbird stopped syncing with my GMX email accounts (I have several) a couple of days ago. It keeps reporting that the attempted connection has timed out. I haven't changed any settings on either Thunderbird nor GMX. Any idea why and how to fix it?

My guess is your antivirus has changed. Try disabling it.

I don't have a 3rd party antivirus loaded, I'm just using Windows built-in security.

Still, do you think that could be it?

Users with gmx have lately been reporting problems. You might want to contact them.

I have sent them a note. Their first response was a generic "check your settings" kind of thing, which as I had explained to them in my note, I had already done. I replied back and still haven't received a response. I doubt that I will, they're not very responsive.
