Snooze emails in your GMX mailbox

gmx.ru (GMX Freemail) doesn't allow you to snooze messages via their webmail interface, but they support IMAP, which means you can use another email program like Mailspring to snooze email messages and use other modern features.

Follow these steps to snooze emails in your GMX account:

Step 1: Download Mailspring

Mailspring is a free desktop email application and allows you to snooze messages in your inbox. It also comes with other great features like customizable themes, keyboard shortcuts, and read receipts! It works great on Mac, Linux, and Windows.

Step 2: Sign in to your GMX account

Run Mailspring and choose IMAP / SMTP on the email setup screen. Enter the connection settings for your GMX account and click "Continue". Mailspring is a full email client and allows you to check your gmx.ru (GMX Freemail) email without using the webmail interface. Your email should be displayed in a few minutes.

Step 3: Snooze messages in your inbox

When viewing a message in Mailspring, click the Snooze icon in the toolbar and pick a time when you'd like the email to return to your inbox. That's all you need to do! Mailspring will hide the message until then, so you can handle the rest of your work without forgetting to come back to the message.

If you have a touch-screen laptop or a trackpad that supports swipe gestures, you can also snooze emails in Mailspring by swiping across the message in the thread list!
