  As you mentioned yourself, you had to flick a switch to enable
  options that were bad form, but were coded into Outlook (and
  express). This would mean the nice programmers of the IMAP server
  you used flexed to take this into account. It could very well be
  possible that the imap server GMX is using only knows the broken
  IMAP method of OE/Outlook, could even be an MS server. Because of
  this, the older versions of Netscape might have been coded to also
  respond to the bad IMAP, but the newer versions fixed to properly
  comply with RFCs.

  As has been said before, TB!s IMAP support is very... restricted in
  the fact that it treats IMAP as a multi-folder POP3 server, instead
  of true IMAP. There is a possibility that if GMX sorts the servers
  out, you could read the mail.
