I've been using GMX for a few years now for personal email, and haven't really had a problem with it. I recommended it to my elderly mom, and she asked me to set up an account for her (she likes the option to have aliases). I set up the account, set up a few aliases, and installed the GMX app on her phone. Two days later, she couldn't log in. I went over to her place and tried to log in, and it gave me the error message "No such account exists". I filled out the customer service form and submitted it, and was redirected to an error page. I then set up another account for her (under a different username, since although her old account 'no longer existed', the username was still in use), and two days later - boom, gone again. I tried a third time, and... same thing. I spent a week dealing with this, and it was a complete waste of time. I'm now migrating my own account away from GMX. I refuse to deal with a service where they can just randomly close my account for no reason. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Tip for consumers:
If you do decide to use GMX, make sure you keep backup copies of any important emails; one day, you might wake up and find you have no access to an account that 'no longer exists'.

“I encourage all that have had trouble with this company to complain to German officials authority as user rights are very strong in Germany and in Western Europe in general. This company need to be shut down.”
