Hi, I'm in a real pickle now!
I've just received emails from Gmx.co.uk saying I'm NOT going to be able to send or receive email in the near future, they state:
Quote: We are contacting you because one or more of your devices or programs uses the TLS 1.0 and/or TLS 1.1 encryption protocols to connect to our GMX email servers. This involves either access via SMTP (sending emails) or retrieval via POP3/IMAP (receiving emails).
Unfortunately, the TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 encryption protocols are outdated and no longer meet current security standards. To protect your email communications, soon we will no longer allow access to our GMX servers with these outdated protocols.
What does this mean for you?
After the protocols have been deactivated, the transfer of emails between your affected device or program and our GMX servers will no longer work; i.e. no emails will be transmitted to or from your GMX email account using TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1. UnQuote
I'm using The Bat! email client and use the setting above.
The GMX Website lists the following settings for POP/SMTP
POP3 Server Data
Here you can find the relevant information for the server data to retrieve your email from your GMX mailbox with a third party application.
I really can't see what GMX are suggesting inasmuch as I'm using the settings above.
Please can someone give me some advise, what can I do? I've got hundreds of emails stored on The Bat! and use gmx email address for scores of web sites, banks etc
