Previously on my blog I talked about GMX Mail service, the only web mail service where you can access other emails like yahoo, hotmail etc beside the gmx.
There is a good news for GMX users. Now you can access gmx mail from Thunderbird. Configuring GMX on Thunderbird is pretty simple.
If you don’t have Thunderbird than you can download it here.
Open Thunderbird Mail Client
1. Go to Tools (located at the menu bar above) then click Account Settings
2. On the Account Options, select Add Mail Account
3. Type name, address and password and click Continue
4. After the above step, Thunderbird will automatically fetch the settings according to domain of the mail id, as for example, if the id is bdtechie@gmx.com then Thunderbird will apply gmx mail server settings. Click Create Account at the end
5. If you want, you can change the incoming server settings from IMAP to POP.
Are there any differences between IMAP and POP?
POP settings allows the mail client to download the emails onto your PC before being presented to you. IMAP settings dosen’t download the emails, it shows the email by fetching it from the server or you can say it works like a web mail. You can read more about IMAP and POP here:
