Does anyone use GMX Email, help needed.

[theodotcom]

I've been using GMX Email for a few years. Back when it was in English and then it changed to only German.
Today I got an email about an update to the service, and about some security setting I need to change so I can carry on using it via outlook.

Has anyone else got the same email who can tell me what I need to do.

It looks like I have to do it by the 16th March.

Thanks

Here is the email, translated with google...

Ask 4me2 m8 he uses it.

You wll need to re-setup your account details in outlook to use SSL or TLS as per whatever their instructions say. Should be really simple looking at that tho.

Looks like their help system aint reflecting the changes yet. Keep an eye on this page for changes. The connection tab will come into play, you will have to click ssl and enter a port number, but I don't know which port :|
