I wonder if you are taking into account all the corporate exchange out there as well as the stupendous number of gmail addresses and yahoo addresses.
I did say Pre gmail.. No...did not include Corporate Exchange clients as openSuSE is not a corporate produce and TB doesn't (AFAIK) support exchange that I know of (I only see configs for POP/IMAP in mine).
Gmail: 425 million as of June 28th, 2012 Yahoo! Mail was the second largest web-based email service with 310
Neither of those are a protocol. Gmail supports POP3(S), IMAP(S), and webmail. Yahoo... webmail and POP3(S) that I'm aware of(my parents are saddled with a provider who uses yahoo mail and they don't have an imap option). If you have webmail...and use it that way, then talking about reading it through Thunderbird is a bit irrelevant, is it not? Or am I missing your point? In both of the above, if you use webmail, you use a browser and a local email client doesn't usually enter into it, so I'm not counting webmail access -- only those services used by the public / end-users that provide some email download service to a local client where the local client can store the messages (not and as "save as webpage...)... Does that clarify my statement? I will easily admit that webmail usage probably exceeds pop3 email usage these days, BUT, this is about Thunderbird and IMAP -- neither having to do with the webmail usage. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
