Well like the title says what is the most popular email service in the world?
Maybe Hotmail or yahoo. Maybe Gmail is starting to creep up the list. So what is the most popular email service in the world?

Its AOL.



Can't remember where I heard that, but yeah...

Well i think google you get 2.8 gb of space!!!!!

EDIT: 100th post!!!!!!!!

I am so happy.........

AOL is the most popular (why? ) but I think it's also the worst one.

GMail <3

Well it varies from region to region. In my area (Val and Steven included), almost all of us use Microsoft Messengers. But however, my Californian friends use AOL, which I dont have. Hong Kong seems to have a mix of Yahoo! and MS, which go hand in hand. So it really depends on the area you're in.

Internationally, I really dont know. Isn't that why there is such thing as competition?

i think its AOL, not only because i work for them (i have the same opinion as you all) but basicly its already surpast 30 million in the US not to mention the amount in AOL canada, AOL UK and other areas of the world

EDIT: btw, thats 30 million members, each member having the ability for up to 7 e-mail additional addresses

there are also millions of people with internet access in general, each of them having the abbility for up to basically unlimited homtail/gmail/yahoo adresses, that doesn't mean they all do it.

For some stange reason i am curious to see a trusted article with real facts about this question... AOL beating all of the other big 3 in actively used emailadresses would kinda suprise me.

True that list on the "about" website is for top free email services. Even though lots of people supposedly use AOL I havn't seen that many though. I have seen loads of people using yahoo and hotmail aswell. Gmail maybe not because its in BETA I think and its not been fully released.

Gmail

i think the best opne is gmail but i still think hotmail is the most popular emai client..

i love Gamil they've got pretty much everything that MSN/hotmail has and its friendlier too. hotmail is just something theyve come up with and left alone really in my view.

Hotmail is Australia's most popular email service. MSN Messenger was the most popular IM service, though the users are now split into MSN Messenger and Windows Live Messenger, but if you count the two as one; it's on top.

I use Gmail, nice interface. I don't like Google having all of my web searches and emails, but Gmail is too convenient (I don't sign up for other Google stuff though, and I use separate domains for email and search). I have a Windows Live Mail account, but it's too inconvenient because it's not browser-independant.

Optus is a shit ISP as well. I guess that Bigpond could be called the Aussie AOL, but the real AOL is here as well, and Bigpond doesn't have crappy software bundles, just crappy internet access.

PS the best Aussie ISP is Exetel .

amazingly my talktalk connection has been pretty good recently

It probally is AOL but i think hotmail is better.

Hm, Interesting topic. I'v never really thought about it before.

All I know is that most of my friends use MSN. But I don't know if that makes it the most popular in the world you know. Hehe.
