## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** GMX Mail is free, so making your own would save you nothing. And it is not the kind of software a weekend replaces. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.2 is higher than 116 of the 122 other email apps we grade.

- You could make: Calendar: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: An email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail.
- You could not: Filters that read every message as it arrives.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
