You are right mailboy; they have mostly German users so it does make sense for them. There are so many emails available that are in English with lots of storage anyway that everyone can be happy!

The reason I want to join is because of the short domain name. GMX.net...fewer than all other email providers.

But I have no idea what the ROAD house number is and the field after that....

I was thinking that road house number might be referring to your home address but when you try to fill in entry, the characters are limited and the next field, "Postleitzahl Ort" is zip code - place.

I do remember GMX being touted before as a good email service.

I joined web.de cause they allow you to live outside of germany.

I didn't ahve to fake any german addresse that way.

but the german was too hard for me to get so I gave it all up.

web.de has a lot of advertizing.

GMX must have a contract that if you give fake addresses and prend to be a german citizen then they are allowed to delete your account without telling you don't they.

I would feel bad cheating on them.

Am I too sensitive then?

FMnewbe that now also have a BB account, Much easier to set up pop on that one.

Now I need to get what an alias is.

Does gmx have aliases

It is your street and house number. The next field is zipcode and city.

IIRC you get two @gmx.(de|at|ch|net) addresses plus 3 addresses in their "fun-domains".

BTW an excellent online German <-> Englich dictionary is dict.leo.org

Yes, you´re right.
But:
Just the postal address(!) you give must be vaild, not your name. That means: They check if the postal code fits to the city and street. That´s easy to check and that´s the only way they can. GMX cannot examine if you´re really living there.

BTW @fmnewbie: Doesn´t web.de only allows 1000 stored emails in your account?

have no idea meine Deuch? ist unbefintlich. Keine ubung und keine worter in meine kopf

enough of trying to search for those old words. Studieert german fur drei semesters? neunsich zei und siebsich?

crazy.

But it feels bad to cheat on gmx not living there if that si what they ask you to agree on. One will feel bad about it during sleep when the day moral get changed for the bodies real fell for it so one get haunted by nightmares you will see

Yahoo mail giving users 100MB email storage..

or eait for GMail....offering 1GB email storage soon...

[fmnewbee]

Why we discuss gmx.de is that they have pop access adn have big quota. Or is nto that combination why it is soo popular so one want to cheat?

Ok maybe one never should give right data ever. Some say.

I give the right data most of the time. Yahoo hotmail Bluebottle and as many as I remember but a few that I didn't trust I gave false info too. Don't remember now, was years ago?

Majority of users here never give their real names soem threads indicate. So this wil lset up a kind of armes race GMX asking for true knowledge fo german to be able to phone you and get positive indication it is you

With GMX you get 1Gb file storage (with WebDav access).

In my experience GMX is more reliable than Yahoo and GMail. That is not to say that Yahoo isn't reliable, it is more reliable than most other services, but GMX is even more reliable. GMail is still in beta and is quite often down.

Yahoo do gives 1gb for those using Yahoo.com.cn and yahoo messenger.

jhs you live in schwitzerland sorry spelling wrong out of poor memory.

you understand their german. What is it they say.

suppose I long for to have a free GMX.de account then.

I pretend me to be a foreigner only knowing english but living in Germany. I give a workable Strazze und hause number.

How seriously would they take such. Tell the authorities in my homecountry? Ask the Interpool to get me?

or just delete me when they find out. all saved files goes poof?

or do they have soo many subscribers that they simply don't care about a few thousand outsiders of Germany freeridign on their service? Very tempting to join them

From http://www.gmx.net/de/produkte/mail/agb

Der Kunde sichert zu, dass die von ihm im Rahmen des Vertragsangebots oder des Vertragsschlusses gemachten Angaben über seine Person und sonstige vertragsrelevante Umstände vollständig und richtig sind. Der Kunde verpflichtet sich, GMX jeweils unverzüglich über Änderungen der Daten zu unterrichten; auf entsprechende Anfrage von GMX hat der Kunde die Daten zu bestätigen. Bei Verstoß ist GMX berechtigt, die vertraglichen Leistungen sofort zu sperren.

Which basically says they have the right to close your account if the information you give them isn't correct and complete.

I have been using GMX for abt 4 yrs (they have English version then but still continue to support them even if they stick to German lang)...no regrets...

One thing i dun like abt is....i can't read some of the email attachments that were sent out by my friends...not too sure is it becos of the email format..

but when i forward to yahoo...i can view the attachments...anybody have the same problem with me?
