Where Does GMX Store Mail and Cloud Files?
GMX keeps mail on its servers with the phone holding offline cache and settings in a private sandbox.
Last updated
GMX mail lives server-side. Folders, contacts, and Media Center files attach to the account. The sandbox holds offline copies, drafts, and notification settings.
WEB.DE shares the same backend and app structure under one roof. Either login works in the respective app with identical mechanics. Cache clears free space without touching the mailbox.
Where GMX stores this, by platform
/data/data/de.gmx.mobile.android.mail
Private sandbox for offline mail and settings. Mailbox is account-side. Media Center files sync separately from mail.
/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/<guid>/Documents
