Please post the statements (removing password, user, etc).

I'd suggest to add logging to you script.  And verify that it is
really called when you hit `g'.  E.g. add ...

exec 2> $HOME/get-all-mail.log
set -x

... near the beginning of your script.

With the value ....

,----[ <f1> v mail-sources RET ]
| mail-sources is a variable defined in `mail-source.el'.
| Its value is 
| ((pop :server "pop.gmx.net" :user "[...]" :password "[...]")
|  (file))
`----

..., I get:

,----[ *Messages* ]
| Checking new news...
| nnml: Reading incoming mail from file...
| nnml: Reading incoming mail from pop...
| nnml: Reading incoming mail (no new mail)...done
`----

You could also edebug the function `mail-source-fetch-pop'.

Bye, Reiner.
