Thank you, heidgro, for your response. I hope you will pardon me for being a liitle skeptical. But I remember a once-free e-mail service called NetAddress or Net@ddress. It was one of the best free e-mail services in the world, at one time. You had the option of using your account as a web-based e-mail account, or as a POP/SMTP account, or as a mail-forwarding service. And when I signed up for my Net@ddress account, they promised me that it would be "free for life". Then, all of a sudden, when I least expected it, the "flipped the switch" and told their users that they would have to either start paying a monthly fee for the service, or they would lose their accounts. I can't help but wonder, is GMX goint to do the same thing?

Thanks for your review and for pointing out a question that we are sure others are interested in learning the answer to. Advertisements. Because we want GMX Mail to remain a free service, GMX is not completely ad-free.

What we guarantee is that we do not and will never scan your messages for ad placement. “At GMX, we treat emails just like sealed letters, and so we will never scan private e-mail content in this way,” says Eva Heil, GMX's Managing Director.

And to keep GMX Mail as ad-free as possible, we've decided to place ads from our sponsors on the logout page where they do not interfere directly with your use of GMX Mail. This is only place in GMX where you find our sponsor's ads today.
