GMX is "Global Mail Exchange", found at www.gmx.com. This is a free e-mail service chock full of features and goodies that, said honestly, surprised me at how good it is.
A few of the features:
- Ability to choose an address ending in gmx.com, gmx.us or gmx.co.uk.
- Can import mail over from several popular e-mail services including Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, Gmail, AOL Mail and a ton of others.
- You can add up to 10 additional GMX mail accounts right from within your primary account, all with separate e-mail signatures.
- Has autoresponder and forwarder capability.
- Has the ability to delete mail on a schedule. You can create a custom folder and instruct GMX to "Delete mails after [this] many days". Very, very trick.
- Full right-clickability inside the interface.
- 5GB storage
When I say I was surprised at how good this mail is, I meant it. Absolutely none of the other webmail providers have everything GMX has.
Check this out:

Above: When I right-click an e-mail, look at how many commands are assigned to literal keyboard shortcuts (that work). In addition, look at all the options I have. I can blacklist/whitelist/filter/spam/move all from just this menu.
You’re probably saying to yourself "Wow, looks just like an e-mail client". You’re right, it does – and GMX does it right.

GMX is really fast and has tons of good names still available, but what surprises me more than anything else is how GMX was literally able to produce a truly kick-ass webmail that obliterates everyone else in the functionality department.
This is the first webmail I’ve seen besides Yahoo! Mail that truly feels like a local e-mail client – with the speed of one.
In addition to that, it’s stupidly easy to use.
You seriously need to check out GMX. Even if you don’t want another e-mail account, get one anyway and try it.
I signed up two of them. ![]()
Thanks for the tip, Drew!
