Evolution and gmx.de

[John Warner]

Dear Dietmar and others,

I am using Evolution 2.6.1 on Ubuntu 6.06 and the error message I am
getting is:
"Unable to connect to POP server pop.gmx.net.
Error sending password: -ERR You may not use our POP3 service
Please enter the POP password for johncrwarner at gmx.de on host
pop.gmx.net"

I suspect that I have to enable something on the settings for the
account with gmx - but I am at a loss as to how to do it - the hilfe
system has lots of mail programmes but not evolution.

John
