No bother, but gnu.emacs.vm.info would be more appropriate.

Does gmx.net support POP or IMAP? If not, you're out of luck.

(setq vm-spool-files
(list
(list "~/INBOX"
"gmx.net:110:pass:m_osm:*"
"~/INBOX.CRASH")))> VM asks for password for > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]@gmx.net > > My address seems to be messed up, I do not know why.
