GMX (free) — 65 GB mailbox, IMAP after opt-in, 135 MiB SMTP SIZE Storage

| Free tier | GMX's own storage page: "With GMX, you can store up to 65 GB worth of emails. To put that into perspective, that's around 500,000 emails!" unit GB; metered on stored-bytes |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Per-object cap | not stated |
| Retention | 65 GB total is the byte ceiling. Folders can be set to auto-delete on a timer, so retention is user-visible and must be left at 'unlimited'. |
| Egress | Unmetered; mailbox service. |
| Identity | email derived from the record's prose, not from an identity field, and no signup was executed: storage page: "With GMX, you can store up to 65 GB worth of emails. To put that into perspective, that's around 500,000 emails!" Free accounts are deleted for inactivity; IMAP access |
| Binding | none no constraint of a named kind was recorded; the verdict rests on the quota sentence rather than on a named limit |
| Interface | rest rest |
| Tooling | IMAP probe-verified: imap.gmx.net:993 -> * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 CHILDREN ENABLE ID IDLE LIST-EXTENDED LIST-STATUS LITERAL- MOVE NAMESPACE SASL-IR SORT SPECIAL-USE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT UIDPLUS UNSELECT WITHIN AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=PLAIN]. IMAP is OFF by default and must be toggled on in settings (documented, not a paywall). Same server identity as mail.com — the IMAP banner H migmxus005 is byte-identical in shape to imap.mail.com's. |
| Composes with | 65 GB × N free accounts. GMX and mail.com are both United Internet properties, but only GMX leaves IMAP open on the free tier — so GMX is the reachable half of that 130 GB pair. |
| Reliability | Free accounts are deleted for inactivity; IMAP access is auto-revoked "for security reasons" after a long period of non-use, so a dormant archive mailbox can lose its programmatic path. |
| Notes | GMX's own storage page: "With GMX, you can store up to 65 GB worth of emails. To put that into perspective, that's around 500,000 emails!" |
