-ERR Error retrieving your GMX emails. Your connection is not encrypted. Enable SSL in your mail program. Instructions: https://ssl.gmx.net
Connection closed by foreign host.
Well, this failed because most mail server require a SSL/TLS encrypted session nowadays. So instead of using telnet you can use socat:
$ socat - OPENSSL:pop.gmx.net:995
+OK POP server ready H migmx113 0MC062-1Yzese0KO7-00AVNE
USER spamaccount80@gmx.de
+OK password required for user "spamaccount80@gmx.de"
PASS typeyourpassword
+OK mailbox "spamaccount80@gmx.de" has 13518 messages (191718918 octets) H migmx113
If you type a wrong password, the server will probably say something like:
-ERR authentication failed
Or instead of socat you probably have openssl laying around:
$ openssl s_client -quiet -connect pop.gmx.net:995

Might be worth including the command line for plain ol' POP3 without SSL – roaima May 6 '15 at 22:44 1 @roaima Good remark. I've added telnet and openssl examples. – FloHimself May 7 '15 at 6:12
