I am talking abourt the Mail-Service, not the Internet Connection My ISP for my Internet Connection in Strasbourg/france is <http://www.wanadoo.fr> but because I found no suitable Mail-Provider in France, I am using the German ISP <http://www.freenet.de/>. Authentication is done via auth-smtp. So, where is the Problem (except you need one to setup the Mailaccount, because the Website is in german) ? Oh yes, you can use GMX too. Websites are in german, french end english.
