GMX: Create and set up an account - how to do it

GMX is a popular choice for a free email account for private purposes. If you are also interested in it, for example to have a private account for loyalty cards, you can set up your own account with GMX in just a few clicks.

How to create your GMX account and set it up

Since an email account with GMX is free of charge, you only need to have your personal data available and you can open your own account.

1. First open the GMX website in your browser and click on the "Create email account" button.
2. You will now be redirected to an online form where you enter your personal data such as first name and birthday. Enter the data truthfully.
3. Followed by this, you must enter your desired email address. To check whether this is still available, click on the button "Check availability".
4. If the address is already taken, you can simply add a number or a special character to not have to change the address completely.
5. Now you have to enter a password and confirm it. Make sure that you can remember the password well. For security, you should always deposit a secret question with the appropriate answer.
6. Finally, you still enter the security code and confirm the terms and conditions. Subsequently, you select from "I agree. Now create email account".

Select the right email address

Depending on what you want to use the email address of your GMX account for, you should make sure that the address does not allow too many conclusions about your person. Especially for browser games, a fictitious address is a good idea.
