I live in Austria now and it is amazing the amount of people who use GMX.
I've been on a crusade to try to make people switch to, well, whatever but not that.
I think it was one of the first ones around here and people got used to it and the status quo, most don't even know or care about how bad they've got it.
True, GMX is popular in Austria. Especially the kids and youth now use GMX instead of GMail or Outlook.com. For some reasons they trust European companies. (privacy, dislike NSA spying, etc.)
Though, GMX has done some shady business over the years and their servers are in Germany. They would be better off with some other email provider...

Even many older people. When I was doing my PhD, many of my German colleagues were using GMX addresses privately.
Can confirm. GMX was the first email provider I used, since it was cool because it was not hotmail and still had a lot of names available. I still use my 3 letter gmx account as a spambox nowadays.
