GMX addresses, sorted by the part after the @

The first thing to settle is the domain. Most GMX listings here deliver a gmx.com address, the international version of the service. Others give gmx.us, or one of the European ones: gmx.de and gmx.net from the German service, gmx.fr, and gmx.ch. A few carry gmx.sg, and one listing sends whichever GMX domain its batch holds.

The domain is fixed for the life of the mailbox, so pick it before anything else. If the people you write to or the service you sign up for expect a German or French address, choose that listing; if not, gmx.com has the widest choice of ages.

Days old, a year old, or registered years ago

Ages are written as a floor. The newest listings are at least two, five or seven days old. Then come one month and two months, five to twelve months, one year or more, and one to two years. Some titles skip the count and name the year of registration instead: 2026, 2023, or a range such as 2020 to 2023.

Titles also say what is already inside. A new mailbox usually holds only the welcome letter from GMX. Older ones, and listings marked "used in some services", may hold letters from sites the address was used to sign up for. If you need an empty inbox, choose a title that says new or unused.

Where the account was registered from is the last detail: US addresses, France or elsewhere in the EU, a mobile network, or a mix. It is part of how the mailbox started, and nobody you write to can see it.

POP3, IMAP and SMTP are already switched on

GMX keeps outside mail apps locked out of a new account until the owner turns on POP3 and IMAP in the settings. Nearly every listing here has done that before delivery, so the address works in Outlook, Thunderbird, Apple Mail or your own script straight away, with the same password you use on the web. A few titles only name IMAP; read the title if you need POP3 or sending by SMTP.

Use encrypted connections. For gmx.com and similar addresses the usual servers are imap.gmx.com on port 993, pop.gmx.com on 995 and smtp.gmx.com on 587. Addresses at gmx.de and gmx.net use imap.gmx.net, pop.gmx.net and mail.gmx.net on the same ports.

The first ten minutes with a new mailbox

Sign in on the GMX site that matches the address: gmx.com for gmx.com, gmx.us and most others, gmx.net for gmx.de and gmx.net, gmx.fr for gmx.fr and gmx.ch for gmx.ch. Open the inbox, then go to the security settings and change the password to one only you know, and add a recovery email address you control.

Do this for every mailbox in the order while the warranty on the listing is still running. If one will not accept the delivered password, is locked, or asks for a phone check its title did not promise, open a ticket from your order page with the address and a screenshot, and it is replaced. A mailbox that stops working after you send bulk mail from it is not covered.
