Will my emails stay at GMX?

Yes. We only copy and change nothing in the old mailbox, not even the “read” mark.

How much does the move from GMX to Posteo cost?

The test with the emails of the last 30 days is free. The whole move costs €9.90 once, with 30 days of forwarding, the address checklist and a report.

Do I have to close GMX afterwards?

Not right away. Keep the old address running for a few weeks and switch your accounts during that time. Our checklist shows where the old address is still registered.

Move from GMX to Posteo

All emails and folders come from GMX into your Posteo mailbox. Your GMX mailbox stays unchanged, and we bring over new emails to the old address for 30 days.

Test for free

The test moves the emails of the last 30 days, up to 200 MB. You see right away that everything works.

What to set up first

About five minutes. After that you only enter your two addresses and passwords in the move wizard.

In your old inbox

At GMX

Sign in to GMX in your browser.
In the email area, open “Settings” and then “POP3/IMAP”.
Allow access via IMAP and save. In the wizard you then enter your normal GMX password.

In your new inbox

At Posteo

Nothing else. Your normal mailbox password is enough, we already know the server settings.

What happens to your folders

Inbox, Sent, Drafts and Trash land in the matching folder at Posteo, whatever it is called there. Your own folders keep their names and subfolders. Read, flagged and answered marks are kept.

We only include Trash and Spam if you want. Before the start you can deselect individual folders.

How long does the move take?

Usually a few minutes to a few hours, depending on the size of the mailbox. You don’t need to stay: we email you once everything is there.

Contacts and calendars

If you like, we can bring your contacts and calendars along right after the move (beta).
