First examination- GMX mail

GMX Mail- First Examination
With big players such as GMail by Google and Windows Live Mail by Microsoft, it is quite easy to forget about smaller players in the never-ending list of e-mail providers. Global Mail Exchange, more commonly called GMX, has a fair share of users in parts of Europe. In 2007, GMX has launched an English version of the service and Coast Tech Blog is here to bring a "First Examination" into the product.

Pros: Extremely clean interface- quite hard to find in services today. Nice, handy toolbar for composing e-mails. Nice set of essentials- spam filters, organizer, etc. However, to add some spice, the service includes an indepedent "File Storage" service that allows users to store up to 1 GB files on there. The service is simple to use and is fairly organized. Forum offers communication between users and GMX personnel (at times) and general set of information.

Cons: Not as sophisticated feature-wise compared to other services such as GMail. Does not offer enough integration with other online services when compared to Google (Blogger, IM, chat, etc.) and Windows Live (Spaces, Messenger, access with same account to many Microsoft services.)

First evaluation: Considering it is not more than 2 years old- the service is great. The service is clean and easy to use. If you strictly use e-mail for the purpose to e-mailing, you should definately look into this service.
