Company claims to have improved service based on user feedback and customer forums over recent weeks.

GMX Internet Services Inc., an email provider, today announced the success of the beta version of its US free email service GMX.com. The company claims that over 100,000 GMX accounts have been created over the past weeks.

It avers that GMX.com has been continuously improved based on user feedback and customer forums over these past weeks and over 500 user requests have been incorporated into today's GMX feature set.

The company claims that it delivers a powerful, reliable email service with an intuitive interface, time-saving mail management tools and unique email features. A focus is security, with secure log-in, virus protection and anti-spam for up to 98 percent fewer spam emails. It adds that it also includes the unique MailCollector tool which allows users to collect and manage emails from other accounts (Yahoo, Google Mail, Hotmail) all from within their GMX account. The in-house development of such features enables GMX to drive the free email market, it says.

Eva Heil, Managing Director of GMX, said, "We are delighted with the enthusiastic response to our US beta. With this second round, we are confident that even demanding users will find their expectations surpassed. We'll continue to develop GMX.com, and in fully exploring our users' desires for email, we will redefine the standard for free email services."
