Points to Remember

You must enable POP3/IMAP sync in your GMX settings to utilize third-party email programs.

POP3/IMAP synchronization gets disabled by default. Thus, you must enable this function to sync your email with third-party applications or mobile apps in your settings.

  1. Click Settings on the Email tab.
  2. Select POP3 & IMAP from the drop-down menu.
  3. Enable access to this account via POP3 and IMAP by checking the Enable access to this account via POP3 and IMAP box.
  4. Click Save.

💡 Note: If you do not utilize POP3/IMAP for an extended time, this setting will be switched off automatically again for security reasons.

You will collect your messages in the Inbox folder if you retrieve your emails via POP3. In your webmail mailbox, no copies of emails get retained.

Difference Between IMAP and POP3

When setting up an email address in an email client, you must decide whether you wish to use POP3 or IMAP. Both are methods of connecting to the mail server to read your emails using an email client.

Finally, if you will be accessing your email from several devices, such as a work computer and a smartphone, IMAP is the way to go. POP3, on the other hand, is excellent if you only have one device and a high volume of emails. It is also more convenient if you have a slow internet connection and check your emails without going online. IMAP is more likely to meet the demands of the majority of individuals.
