The web mail scene has been dominated by either Gmail, Yahoo! Mail or Windows Hotmail for quite some time now. Although there have been many other web-based email systems who have tried to enter the fray, none has been successful as of yet. So it would seem that GMX Global Mail Exchange may be up to a tough task of getting into the web mail niche.

GMX Global Mail Exchange aims to provide an alternative web mail solution for home users as well as small and medium sized enterprises. It’s your typical web based email that supports POP3, IMAP and SMTP protocols and mobile devices. GMX also allows you to create up to 10 additional emails that all forward and can be checked from your main account, which is a nice way to keep your main email address a little more private. If you notice too much junk or spam from one of your alternates simply delete it and start with a new one.

Verizon has launched a new service for their customers who use smartphones, dubbed the “E-mail and Web for Smartphone” plan. The new Verizon plan offers smartphone users an unlimited data allowance for accessing their e-mail as well as browsing the Internet through their mobile phones. The new plan covers up to 10 personal e-mail accounts that include Yahoo Mail, AOL, Windows Live and Verizon.net.
