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

The big O

I recently downloaded the new Opera 10. I have been using it for a few days now and I really like it. It starts up very quick, has great standards support and renders pages well, and has lots of great features. One I am really liking is the built in mail client. It integrates very well and is great for getting mail from my multiple accounts that I usually used webmail for. Firefox has been seeming kinda slow lately and I might switch to Opera as my main browser.

If you use Opera's M2 mail client with GMail IMAP you need to be aware of a few things because of GMails quirky IMAP implementation. Check these pages out to find out more.
