I am looking to migrate my personal mail to a free service that has reasonable storage space, supports IMAP, and is headquartered in the EU. So far GMX.com is the only one that fits the bill, but the free tier benefits are a bit too generous. Is there a catch?


I have had it for more than a decade and just switched away. Apparently a lot of spam is sent through them, so I had an issue where an email I sent bounced back. Also their incoming spam filter is bad causing me a five-day delay on one important business email. They also have ads which I don’t really mind since I use adblock anyway. The mailbox cannot be set in new outlook and all automatic filters are quite primitive to set. I haven’t seen any updates at all to it in the decade either, so wouldn’t be surprised if it had a ton of security vulnerabilities. I didn’t know they offer any paid services.
