After several days of trying out GMX I found several usability problems. As usual I used the Opera IMAP client as I do with Gmail. Quite a few times the client was unable to login into GMX which were mostly fixed by trying again. Never had this problem with Gmail. Their forum reported similar issues with different clients including their web client.
Another issue was that one particular email Opera even failed to parse and read. Perhaps they were sending some malformed mail? Again never had this problem with Gmail. I have decided that I wouldn't trust GMX with important emails. Their forums reported a wide variety of issues. Several users are apparently locked out for days which is usually fixed by writing to a support email but again it takes days. The GMX people don't reply often on the forums. One extreme incident that took place was the GMX support asking for a driving license or similar id to restore an locked account! The issue though was not one of fraud but rather a bureaucratic issue one often finds with large ISPs (GMX is run by Germany's largest ISP.) These issues are quite sad because I rather liked the features and privacy being provided. I would not trust GMX with any important email though I would continue using it for small needs across the web. Last edited by sa1; 03. Apr 2010 at 09:55 PM. |

I tried for 2-3 days to make an account on GMX, but was unsuccessful, because of problems at their end. Looking at sa1's post, I think I am better off without account at GMX.

You might like Fastmail
I've been using it since 2003. It keeps getting better every year and I eventually moved from the free account to the $5 per year account because I guess I'm just a big spender. ;-) The various account levels are compared here.
