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?

    Same boat, 20 years now with them.

    every time you log in, they try to rope you into a paid “upgrade” using the worst UI tricks and dark patterns known to man.

    This is true, I once clicked it by accident without noticing, then got a bill in the end of the month. Called the customer service and they happily cancelled it and voided the bill, no issues there.

      Yeah, they know that if they gave you a hard time, and you took a lawyer, they’d be in trouble.
      Cause that type of dark pattern is actually not allowed in Germany.
