Gmail and GMX Imap in Mozilla Thunderbird 3.0

I keep having to track down IMAP settings for my two mail accounts, so I am putting them in one place.

Gmail:
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - requires SSL: imap.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 993
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS: smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
Account Name: your full email address (including @gmail.com) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com
Email Address: your full Gmail email address (username@gmail.com) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com
Password: your Gmail password

GMX:
Incoming server: imap.gmx.com

Port: 993

Uncheck TLS

Username: yourname@gmx.com

Outgoing server: mail.gmx.com

port: 465

SSL on

Username: yourname@gmx.com
