cannot retrieve email from gmx.net, seems to be a sequirity problem. Evolution under linux works fine as well as some windows programs
What is the output of /Tools/Network Log when this error occurs?
According to the info on gmx.net the servers should be: pop3: pop.gmx.net 995 SSL smtp: mail.gmx.net 587 SSL Or Imap.gmx.net 993 mail.gmx.net 587 When I use pop.gmx.net I get : OK shoot me, today it works!! Yesterday I've got : ** Connection closed by the remote host. Really tried all options and always the same error. When I use imap.gmx.net I get : This setting copied from evolution which works! (port 143) * Account 'etzed': Connecting to POP3 server: imap.gmx.net:143... [10:25:12] POP3< * OK IMAP server ready H migmx124 103684 IMAP-0LmRjz-1Xf3WM0BM3-00aD91 *** Error occurred while processing mail. This it what gmx.net says (port 993) * Account 'etzed': Connecting to POP3 server: imap.gmx.net:993...

looks like you were using POP but trying to connect to the imap server: > Connecting to POP3 server: imap.gmx.net:993...
As a GMX and Claws Mail user, let me add a smart-ass comment. ;-) The Claws Mail developers are active on users@ list: http://lists.claws-mail.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users Often it makes sense to discuss problems (like this one) on the mailing-list before trying to decide whether a bugzilla ticket should be opened. It would be very odd, if Claws Mail's POP3 support failed only for GMX, or if no other GMX users (POP3 or the popular IMAP) had reported it before.
Claws Mail 3.1x.xx works fine here with a POP3 GMX account: * Account 'GMX': Connecting to POP3 server: pop.gmx.com:995...
