The Chesterbrook-based subsidiary of European communications leader United Internet Group is developing a free Webmail service that it believes can change how people interact with their email in the U.S.
GMX, which launched in the U.S. in January, 2008, carries more than 10 years of experience and 11 million users in Europe.
“Its features and convenience rival those of traditional client-based software that require installation on your computer,” says Eva Heil, GMX managing director. “It looks like and behaves like a desktop.”
GMX recently completed Beta trials through its interactive User Lab community, which it boasts as a powerful, highly reliable, free email service. As a result of an innovative platform dubbed GMX Brainstorm, where new ideas are submitted and voted on by users, the service has implemented more than 500 user-generated innovations since its introduction.
“The highest rated innovations are put on the product roadmap,” says Heil. “GMX fully committed itself to focus on listening to users’ ideas. The benefits extend beyond our focus on security.”
Users can have numerous email addresses, including Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo! And others via POP3 work in one familiarized view. Free of ads in the members’ section, GMX’s service also focuses on viruses, guarantees up to 98 percent fewer spam and allows users access to 5 GB of online storage
GMX is a major branch of United Internet, which was founded in 1988 and owns the largest global web hosting service with 40,000 hosted servers, more than 10 million domains and a monthly transfer volume of 4,000 terabytes.
