No... within minutes of you two other people with gmail addresses
registered and verified without a problem...

And your mail host accepted the verification email:

Nov 23 13:04:52 mailhost postfix/smtp[22283]: C74294C85: to=<der-michel at gmx.net>, relay=mx01.emig.gmx.net[212.227.17.5]:25, delay=2.7, delays=0.04/0/1.2/1.5, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Requested mail action okay, completed: id=0M4oOf-1aHETr45SX-00z0Gc)

So my guess is that gmx.net decided to swallow random emails again.
I know a few people who have left gmx.net because of their rather spotty
ability to distinguish spam and ham and the rather high rate of
disappearing email...
