I've used gmx.com for several years now. Look--the basic e-mail service is very good, spam is well-managed. However, they keep making changes which have made the service annoying and cumbersome. For example, now, advertising strips are inserted within the inbox message list. (I always click on them and select "Ad was inappropriate".) The prime responsibility of an e-mail service is to keep spam and advertising OUT of our inboxes! They also put up this stupid consent page before you can log in. No one reads it--just click and get at your messages. Also, a "are you sure you want to leave" panel is put up when trying to log in. Very bad: GMX also hijacks any URLs in your e-mails and inserts its own prefix, presumably to spy on your sharing of links. Not acceptable.
