• User Lab Community and Interactive Brainstorm Platform Launch

Philadelphia, PA (April 8, 2009) -- GMX, www.GMX.com, the free webmail service, announces Beta trials are complete and the launch of its interactive User Lab community with a vibrant Brainstorm platform in the UK. GMX.com is for anyone looking for a new email address in a powerful, highly reliable, free email service.

With email well established around the world and only a handful of providers defining how webmail looks and works, the voice of the user is most often marginalised. After decades of designing and delivering email products, GMX fully committed itself to focus on listening to users ideas, and in 2007, delivered GMX.com. Since its introduction, over 500 user generated innovations have been implemented. Users have influenced every aspect of the look and experience that GMX.com delivers. Now GMX is one of the most powerful, secure webmail services.

Today GMX is launching two innovative new platforms to make it even easier for everyone to participate, share ideas, test new features and comment on enhancements before they go live. The GMX User Lab online community includes GMX Brainstorm, where new ideas are submitted and voted on by users. The highest rated innovations are put on the product roadmap.

Improving with every idea

“People want their email to be easy to use and advanced in functionality,” said Eva Heil, Managing Director, GMX. “Besides great looks, great performance and stateof- the-art functionality, GMX.com is committed to including user innovations and embracing their input on product requirements. We have over 11 million active and outspoken users that are making sure GMX.com is outstanding webmail. GMX is excited to constantly innovate and incorporate advanced options that our community wants”.

GMX.com offers an intuitive interface, time-saving mail management tools and extensive security features. The rich webmail experience looks and behaves like a desktop program and offers the widest selection of available first-choice addresses such as name@gmx.com. Users can have numerous email accounts - including Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo! and others (via POP3) – working in one familiar, personalised view.

GMX.com also focuses on protecting against viruses, and the service ensures up to 98 per cent fewer spam emails with one of the world’s best spam filters. Users have access to 5 GB of online storage through a rich web interface or via POP or IMAP from a desktop email program.
