So your definition is something like "the first brand(s) that come to mind when mentioning the country and email together". And the easiest "mind" to try is Google search (though ChatGPT might be a good "mind" to ask too).

I searched Google for "Russia email" and the only email service on the first page of results is mail.ru. Yandex is not there. The fourth search result was was to "Top Email Websites Ranking in Russia in December 2022" that listed mail.ru as nunmber 1, live.com as 2, gmail.com as 5, and Yandex is nowhere to be found.


Searching Google for "Israel email" provides no results about email services. only contact info for various government agencies (as was also the first result for "Russia email". Searching for "Israel email providers" produces links mainly to outdated info:
1st result is "Top Websites Ranking for Email in Israel - start.me" and I cannot understand the rational of their listing.
2nd results leads to an email addresses.com page! But it seems to be at least 20 years outdated.
4th result is to a page on fepg.net that also seems outdated.
So my conclusion is that really nothing can really be considered as Israel's email brand or brands.


Searching for "Germany email" does seem to point to WEB.DE and GMX.DE as the strongest brands, so certainly Gemany does have it's national brands of email, like Russia does.


Searching for "Switzerland email" gives Proton as the first result.


Searching for "Australia email" Fastmail is nowhere to be found on the first page of results.The first result was "Yahoo Australia". The second was "5 Best Australian Email Providers in 2022" and it listed: Gmail, Outlook, Apple/iCloud, Yahoo and Protonmail.


Now I asked ChatGPT. Here's the conversation:
