You need to specify the full email address as username.

Both the send email from and username fields need to have your full *GMX* email address, like this:
athomas@gmx.com ANd as far as I know, GMX, at least has always worked like that. |

Looks like it's registered to 1and1.com, which is a subsidiary of United Internet (AG), who also own GMX.
My 3rd party file manager's website is hosted at 1and1. Like GMX, it has been known to disappear from some DNS servers. On one occasion it went AWOL for several days. BR |
