If you have ever wanted to know which are the most popular email clients that people worldwide are using to read /open their emails, take a look at this graph.

Microsoft Outlook (including Outlook Express) is the most popular desktop email software followed by web-based email services from Yahoo Mail and Windows Live Hotmail.

popular email programs

These stats are based on the email client usage of more than 300 million people that was done by Campaign Monitor for some six months.

The company embeds a tracking image into their email messages and uses the referral information to determine the email client that was used to open that particular email.

That means if a person is reading his emails in offline mode or has turned off automatic image downloads (like in Gmail) or is using an email client that cannot display images (like older BlackBerry phones), his email client will go undetected.

If you are reading this story on a mobile phone with images turned off, here’s a text version of the same graph:

Email client Popularity
Microsoft Outlook 39.63%
Yahoo! Mail 15.65%
Hotmail 15.35%
Apple Mail 8.25%
iPhone / iPod Touch 5.78%
Gmail 5.51%
AOL Mail 2.76%
Lotus Notes 6 1.72%
Thunderbird 2 1.12%
Others 4.23%

It is also important to note that the above graph represents popularity of email clients and not email services. For instance, one could be using POP or IMAP to read his Gmail messages inside Outlook so that will increase the share of Outlook and not that of Gmail.

There’s little doubt that Yahoo! Mail is the more popular email service out there but another reason why its ranking so high in the list of email clients is because the free version of Yahoo Mail doesn’t offer POP functionality and therefore most people are using web browsers to check emails.

才了解到imap还有个idle模式,gmail太牛逼了,imap免费还支持idle模式,G1的类似pushmail的效果就是通过imap idle实现的~
还有诺基亚的自带的邮箱系统支持imap
idle,缺点是挂机键会退出,开机不自动启动。八过可以通过一个免费软件解决这些缺点以实现诺基亚自带邮件系统的类pushmail功能!
我的垃圾moto只支持imap4,只能定时更新和手动更新不爽,不用也罢!
黑莓的国内移动的正宗pushmail服务贵死,只能通过安装尚邮这类软件来模拟pushmail,但是尚邮对gmail的imap支持很差,再加对他不太信任,最后还是选择放弃尚邮!
看到imap idle这个东西后,好希望有黑莓能用的支持imap idle的客户端哟~

不过, 这个统计和我身边的情况并不一样: 超级多的网易信箱用户.
可是统计样本里没几个中国大陆对象吧.
还不知道样本的地域分布情况.
