GMX Mail is a free webmail service provided by GMX (Global Mail Exchange). GMX was founded in 1997 and is now a subsidiary of United Internet AG, a stock-listed company in Germany. In Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, GMX offers a free webmail service called “GMX FreeMail” which currently has about 10,000,000 active users in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In November 2007, GMX launched an English language service called “GMX Mail” with its own data center in the U.S.A. and a different range of features than in the German language version. Like the German version, the English version remains completely free of charge.
