Your Emacs is built without TLS support.  Build it with TLS support.  Or
adjust the tls-program variable so that it's possible to connect to a
server with invalid certificates, which I'm guessing is going on here.

I checked my Emacs installation. It does NOT include TLS support
though gnutls-cli is installed on my system.

Now reinstalling Emacs.

Which is possible tls-program alternative? I am now setting to 'gnutls-cli'.

What happens if you run this command by hand?

I.e.:

  $ gnutls-cli --insecure -p 993 imap.gmx.com

?

The output is like this:

```
$ gnutls-cli --insecure -p 993 imap.gmx.com
Processed 0 CA certificate(s).
Resolving 'imap.gmx.com'...
Connecting to '212.227.17.172:993'...
Cannot connect to 212.227.17.172:993: Connection timed out
Connecting to '212.227.17.188:993'...
```

As you see, running on command line gives `Connection timed out'
as well.

If you're trying to talk to a server that doesn't want talk to you,
there is nothing Gnus can do.

Then that is your problem. When I try, I get a connection:

  $ gnutls-cli --insecure -p 993 imap.gmx.com
  Processed 0 CA certificate(s).

That's really weird. I can access to gmx email by browser.

But cannot by gnutls-cli. What's the possible reason?

Your browser does not use IMAP.

It looks like the IMAPS port is firewalled for you. Are you on a
corporate network with strict policies? Can you connect IMAPS on other
servers?
