Since sending mail worked, the username+password configuration for this 
(sending mails) was correct.  I'm sure of this, because it *worked*.

This is the answer to my original question: are there 2 distinct credentials 
for send and receive.

These to different locations for credentials I hadn't found, therefore the 
question regarding seperate credential for send and receive.

At first receiving mail via pop from gmx had worked fine.  After I had decided 
to use icedove, I populated my adressbook with 15-20 contacts.  After this 
action receiving failed with the error-message I wrote into the bug-report:

 Error: this._mostRecentActivityForFolder[aFolder.URI] is undefined
 Source File: file:///usr/lib/icedove/modules/activity/pop3Download.js
 Line: 127

This was obviously not a new problem.  After days without response I searched 
a bit and found several reports of the same bug.  The only "solution" found 
was: clear profile and restart fresh.  I don't intent to enter adressbook after 
adressbook to "solve" a years old and always ignored bug.
