GMX Mail Gets Better With Facebook Connect

When most people think of freely available email on the internet, three names comes to mind: Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail. While it’s true there are plenty of other free mail providers out there, it’s the "Big Three" that people use most.

However there’s a fourth that has been making some good waves, that being GMX.

Ordinarily the case is that whenever a web site other than the Big Three provide email, it’s not very feature-rich and is tacked on as an afterthought.

GMX on the other hand offers email that has some real forward thinking in it just like the other Big Three do.

The latest free offering within the GMX mail interface is the ability to connect directly to Facebook from your mail. Not only can you post status updates but also see your Facebook "wall" directly within GMX.

In addition to that, you can login directly to GMX mail using your Facebook account. This is very convenient because it means you can use one login to do two things at once:

If you are already logged into Facebook, going to GMX will auto-login to your GMX mail.

For existing GMX mail users, don’t worry you do not have to sign up a new GMX account. You can continue to use the same one you have all along.

Hotmail not so hot for you anymore?

Yahoo! Mail a bit too bloated?

Gmail screw-ups ruining your day?

Consider GMX. It’s got features that are actually useful and now has easy Facebook connectivity included.

    Of Course, GMX is getting included in the GIANTS like yahoo, gmail, hotmail. I m already using GMX since January 2008, when it got launched. Its realy fab. It has many good features, good design, mail collector, POP3/IMAP, good Spam filter. And above all, customer support is very good, Even on GMX forum. The moderator replies via email or forum. Its far better than other GIANTS.
    Its the best email service I have ever used in last 10 years.
    Comprising the whole, in short I can only say, yahoo+gmail+hotmail+other GIANTS = GMX.

      GMX Support is almost non existent, moderators rarely reply in the forum and then it is usually nonsense. Emails to support either go unanswered or are just a standard “thank you, we will look into it” and then ignored. The GMX system has many serious bugs (many of have been around for several years and are documented in the forum) and can be unreliable. Forum members are crying out for help and yet GMX moderators stay well clear of the forum. Check out the forum yourself before signing up.

      I suspect Surinder Singh may work for GMX.
