GMX Freemail gives me spams after registration
GMX (Global Message eXchange) is a popular free email provider in Germany. I’ve made my account with GMX, because the domain name looks cool and simple for me, yourname@gmx.de. And the dot DE is the most attractive part (Since I am in Germany, I want to have a dot DE email. WTF!) But, the worst part of this free service is that my mailbox got spammed after few hours I registered with them. What the heck?!! If my Gmail account got spammed, it is not a surprise to me because it is used to contact many people and I got many forwarded message via that email address (If you want to forward message to many people, use the BCC function, please).
I don’t know what is wrong with GMX. Maybe the username was used by someone else before. By the way, I am also annoyed with the ads from the company. Every week I get “GMX Best prices” promotions. That is the price I have to pay for free service. Now I am considering to buy a dot DE domain.
Well, I can offer you an email account with the domain einfach-orange.de (which translates as “simply orange”) for free … it is not as short as gmx but you wouldn’t have to pay and I won’t try to sell you anything
Danke für dein schönes Angebot.
But, I don’t really need that email. Changing email address is not a good idea by the way. I’ve learned to live with GMX.
Thanks!
Also make sure you don’t loose your password. GMX has impenetrable procedures to ever get your pass word reset even for paid customers. My sister had to abandon her E-Mail address with many valuable e-mails in it.
