Been using GMX.co.uk for years, about 7 i think, however they dropped their non German service and became as the article says.
I use my own domain redirected into my GMX accounts

Yes they often ‘go slow’ but I prefer them to any other I’ve used

I like the look of GMX Mail but it really is excruciatingly slow. This needs to be resolved if it is to be a serious competitor to existing services.

Gmail is OK - if only it had the GMX interface (but faster of course!)

Slow, even after the four months I’ve been using it, slow. Actually, it seems to be loading indefinitely from some computers, and from others I sometimes don’t get a response to “gmx.com” in the address bar - if only I’d realised earlier!

Does anyone know how to use IMAP with GMX Mail, in Outlook Express 6/Outlook? I can recieve emails, but I can’t send them. Anyone know what’s wrong with that?

The webmail interface seems to lack the option of composing text only messages. Other than that, it seems very reliable and worthy of use. I tried the IMAP option with Thunderbird with no problems. Definitely a step up from Gmail and the others.

GMX has Mail Collector which accesses your existing mail accounts to import mail into your GMX account. While their FAQ explains mail will be imported into the same folders as the service they are coming form; they aren’t. ERGO if you have Inbox, Clients, Temp folders setup on your MSN, Hotmail, or CPANEL account GMX will only grab Inbox mail.

IMAP - Yes you can access your GMX mail from Outlook, Thunderbird etc, but it doesn’t go the other way. In my case GMX mail can not import/sync my existing mail and especially important GMX can not create/mirror my existing folder structure with mail contained within.

FYI FuseMail can do this, but it is not free. Currently ~5.00/mo.

Famous remarks are very seldom quoted correctly.

GMX seems GREAT. Clean easy interface, FAST, handles Japanese text, great calendar (similar to KDE’s calendar).

I only wish it handled larger attachments.

Is it Just me or is this e-mail System Really SLOW. I like the interface and all the features, but the speed needs to be greatly improved.
