I can't configure my GMX email with IMAP

Hello, I have a Jolla 1 phone. After resetting my device to factory settings, I tried to set up my GMX.net email in the default email app with IMAP for outgoing email. This used to work on my phone before the reset.

I created an account through Settings/Accounts/Generic email (I'm translating from Italian: my menus are in Italian). It set up the account with POP3. Then I edited the settings to make it work with IMAP.

The settings I tried are:

incoming:
imap.gmx.net
SSL
port 993

outgoing:
mail.gmx.net
SSL
port 465
Password (authentication required)

I found those settings in the GMX website and in the together.jolla.com post [Feature request] Allow choosing between POP/IMAP when mail server (GMX) provides both suggest. Also, they work in my laptops' Thunderbird.

The error I get when I try to synch is "Errore di sincronizzazione" (sync error). I read all threads in together.jolla.com, and they all suggest those settings, but I can't get it to work.

I tried again with the "sync manually setting", and now the error I get is "Problema di accesso" (Access problem).

Outgoing email works, but not in the IMAP style: i.e., emails that I send from my Jolla phone do not show up in the "Sent" folder of my GMX account when I open Thunderbird.

The error I get when I try to sync is "Errore di sincronizzazione" (sync error). I read all threads in together.jolla.com, and they all suggest those settings, but I can't get it to work.
