Wow, Mail.app has more market share than Outlook. I'm pleasantly surprised. Ditto for GMail only having ~30%.
Although,
> Since determining the client in which an email is opened requires images to be displayed, the data for some email clients and mobile devices might be over- or under-represented due to automatic image blocking.
Outlook doesn't display external images by default, while Mail.app does, so....
- iamacyborg 6y agoAlso, I assume there's a different demographic that uses Mail vs Outlook. Those different demographics will receive different types of email, which may or may not be represented differently by companies who use Litmus tracking which is how this data is being collected.
- cozzyd 6y agoright, neither does Evolution or Thunderbird. It's crazy that Mail.app does this.
- uberduper 6y agoAs far as I know and recall from the years I've been using Mail.app, it does not download external images by default.
- wahern 6y agoIt does. I even provided a citation several weeks ago in another thread, though a quick Google search seems to bring up ample support of its own. Like me you may have disabled it and forgotten. Whenever I get a new laptop at work I tend to go through and change all the defaults, such as reverting to plaintext composition, and habitually disable external image loading as part of the process. The iPhone Mail app may have saner defaults, however, but I don't have an iPhone and have never used its e-mail client.
