GMX supports three methods of SMTP authentication. The newest
and most secure one is 'SMTP with login' (commonly known as RFC
2554). If you created your account before a certain date (I
don't remember it exactly) the security option is set to 'POP
before SMTP' as default. This is how the SMTP server expects the
client to authenticate. Note: these are the settings of GMX,
they have nothing to do with your account properties in TB! You
can change them if you log in on their web site. I would
recommend activating RFC 2554 (or at least checking if it is
already activated).

OK, as I wrote before.
JR> Perform SMTP authentication (RFC 2554) *not* selected
JR> Use POP before SMTP authentication *is* selected
These two depend on what you activated in GMX' options. As
stated above, I recommend activating RFC 2554 in your GMX
account and then activate this setting in your account
properties in TB! and *deactivate* 'Use POP before SMTP
authentication'. Your settings in TB! have to be the same as
GMX' server settings. The SMTP server will refuse a connection
if you don't authenticate yourself the way it expects you to.
[rest snipped, should be no problem]
I hope this will fix your problems.
