Filtered means that there was no response at all to a SYN packet.
They may be offering IMAP service, but they're not offering it at
213.165.64.100 on port 143.

Yes. Have you already considered reading their documentation?

No idea what other settings your preferred MUA might need, but
basically you're looking for

Host: imap.gmx.net
Protocol: IMAP4
Username: login@gmx.net (yes, domain name is needed)

On the other hand, I have no idea if IMAP is available to all
GMX users or if you need to sign up for GMX ProMail. Maybe
you should rather contact the GMX support staff about this..

Then neither are they offering it at imap.gmx.net:

# nmap -P0 -sS -p143 imap.gmx.net
Interesting ports on imap.gmx.net (213.165.64.20):
PORT STATE SERVICE
143/tcp filtered imap

Try "Babelfish"? Or grab your German/English dictionary? Or send me $50,
one page from the site, and I will translate it for you.
