As the year comes to an end and people focus on the well-deserved Christmas break, it’s a good time to take stock of life, work, and love. We’re only focusing on the second of these three today, and email usage in particular.
TechRadar Pro commissioned an exclusive survey of 500 respondents from OnePulse that shows what email services people use and some of the details.
Surprise, surprise Gmail is at the forefront.
Lots of people absolutely hate email, and for good reason. Clients, especially standard clients like Apple Mail, are often slow and geared towards casual users, not power users at work. Additionally, Slack and Teams, along with a host of others, sprang up from the ground to meet job-specific chat needs – even Meta got into the action with Workplace.
Send email or not
So, let’s break down the results.
According to our survey, Gmail is the dominant email service – and it’s nowhere near that. A full 59% of those surveyed use Google’s email services, followed by Outlook (19.7%), Yahoo (13%), iCloud (2.9%), and others (5%).
But what about power users? Well they are in the minority too. Most people (75.6%) have between 1 and 10,000 emails in their inboxes, followed by 16.75% between 10,001 and 100,000, and less often 7.59% have over 100,001 or more.
The situation is similar with email storage: Slightly more than half (50.2%) don’t know or don’t care how full their inbox is. The rest has up to 5GB filled (32.8%) or over 5GB (17%).
