Does anyone have any decent info on which free mail service is the most popular? I know a fair amount of people use any mixture of hotmail, gmail and yahoo. Perhaps 'killing gmail' isn't as big as killing hotmail/live/badabingmail.
- bhrgunatha 16y agoI'd be very interested to see stats on this, but my money is on yahoo. Despite their decline in the US and Europe, they are massively dominant in Asia in search, shopping and mail.
- pbiggar 16y agoI remember seeing stats recently. Hotmail, then Yahoo, then Gmail. Gmail have something like 100million users, and hotmail has 250(?)million I think.
- allbutlost 16y agoFairly recent [1] stats seem to point to: hotmail: 360m+ active accounts yahoo: 275m+ active accounts Gmail in 3rd, followed by AOL webmail [2} Although yahoo! mail seems to have a more active user base as it's ahead on most site ranking systems [3].
