There is a new Email Service in town it is called Gmx. Sign up is free, they claim 11 million people signed up already.
So what do they offer?
Mail Collector. This is a way to check and or get your other mail ie hotmail, gmail, yahoo mail all in one place.
Well I wouldn’t know see, when I went to it originally I was using Chrome the newest version of Chrome even. This is what I ran into:
See they do not support chrome. So I opened up IE 8 and was able to sign up. This went pretty well. The interface looks nice. It was easy to navigate. The main login looks almost like a iGoogle page with widgets. There are some good widgets, one for facebook, one for twitter. Setting these up was easy and the login was fast. The widget for twitter is Betwittered I believe. I tried to setup my Gmail with the mail collector and it failed, wouldn’t connect to gmail. So then I tried to setup my yahoo email and guess what, fail again. So my next thing to try now that I have a username and password was to sign in with Chrome since it is my main browser of choice. Fail again, username and password hit login and just sit. At this time I have given up and try to close out IE 8 and it just hung. Ended up having to cntrl + alt + del kill it.
Final Thoughts
So what does this say… lots of good ideas but maybe like Google did they should stick a Beta label on it. I will give it a try again in a few months, see if they have any bugs out of it. I’m always interested in new things. Have you tried it? What did you think? Any issues with it for you?
