I have nothing but good things to say about my experiences with GMX. I switched from free yahoo because of all the ugly spam and crippled features. All my attachment send and receives have been fast and reliable, I just love this service. Recommend it to all my friends.

Peace

Thanks, Rich. Nice.

Incidentally, while Firefox and Safari have no trouble opening my account, Chrome is lost!

Vic,
With regards the initial transfer of email accounts, take into account that it has to basically download the emails from the account via secure authentication, which from my understanding would make it somewhat slower. Also, you are talking a number of email accounts. Depending on the size of the accounts and how many emails you have, it’s not something that will be done in an extremely fast period of time. And you also need to take into account your own ISP bandwidth/speed will play a part in the speed of transfer.

With regards security/privacy, if you are concerned with security so much, why would you leave it unattended? Just log out before leaving the computer.

Following your announcement I signed up to GMX a few hours ago hoping to aggregate my various email accounts (yahoo, hotmail, gmail) into 1 with the flexibility of still managing them separately. Well, so far it’s a bit of a disappointment. To start with, it’s excruciatingly slow. The initial download of emails from my other accounts isn’t complete after several hours, the system isn’t recognizing my various email addresses to choose from when sending a message, there is no spellchecker available, and -most importantly- there is no security/privacy option (a password?) to prevent access to the various email providers, so that if gmx is left open and unattended, anyone could access all the email accounts… not an option!

Your welcome Rich!

As I said in my email to you, I knew this one had ‘Rich’ written all over it. It’s webmail and a client all in one – truly kick ass.

I honestly don’t think many know about this great site and product yet, so I have to agree in getting in quick and grab a name you like. There are plenty to choose from.

Due to the over abundance in spam I seem to be getting in Hotmail, I’m seriously considering ditching it and using GMX as my primary email account.
