I'd recommend Gnus instead of Rmail for reasons of
technology but also because you'll come across more
people using Gnus so for a beginner it will be easier
to get help.
Here is a good tutorial:
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/GnusTutorial
You need to have your GMX data ready. Then just write
the Elisp forms exactly as in the tutorial but insert
your account data - e.g.,
(setq mail-sources '((pop :server "pop.provider.org"
:user "you"
:password "secret")))
and a few (not many) others which are
also straightforward.
If you don't get it to work ask again and include your
configuration file and it won't take us long,
God willing.
