       Hi Geoff,
       I now have an email address with GMX.COM. I have an email from
       Booking.com which I have a problem with. If I try to click on an
       underlined item which should lead me to a webpage it doesn´t
       always work. Can you tell me what is happening please?

       When it works do you usually see an almost blank page for a few
       seconds with some comments about being redirected?
       Because normally GMX replace's hyperlinks in emails with a link
       to a script on the GMX server that then forwards you to the
       correct external URL. The reason for redirecting (dereferr) is
       solely to hide your GMX account from the destination server.
       Unfortunately when clicking a link your browser “leaks”
       information regarding the page where you’ve clicked the link.
       GMX tries to destroy that information so the destination server
       could not see. As a side effect this sometimes stops the links
       working correctly, I also use GMX but I collect all the emails
       through Microsoft Outlook. The links are then functioning
       correctly but you do have to hold down Ctrl at the same time you
       click..
       If you don’t have Outlook you could achieve the same result with
       THUNDERBIRD and get that to collect all the Gmx mail and any
       other accounts you may have like Gmail, Hotmail etc. Saves
       logging in to many web pages to get at the different accounts.
