GMX Mail · Montabaur, Germany
What it is
GMX Mail is a free email service for personal users and small to medium-sized businesses, available on the web, Android, iOS, and through a browser extension. Each account includes 65 GB of email storage, which GMX says can hold 500,000 emails, and allows attachments up to 50 MB. Users can create as many as 10 alias addresses for one mailbox, or use Mail Collector to add up to 10 accounts from other providers. GMX also offers Contacts, an Organizer calendar, Online Office for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files, and 2 GB of cloud storage. Its mobile app manages multiple accounts and supports sending and receiving encrypted email. Free OpenPGP encryption is available through a browser extension, with encryption performed on the user's computer. GMX says it scans incoming and outgoing emails and attachments for malware and uses seven anti-spam modules. It states that account data is processed in European data centers, and that mobile-app data processing follows GDPR. MailCheck can notify users about incoming messages and connect multiple accounts. Customer care is available through a Help Center and contact form.
