Email clients usage statistics
I wonder if mail providers that are represented here have some info on email client usage statistics that they be willing to share with us.

I was about to post something similar, except that we see Outlook having an even bigger share. Outlook 2003 is really bad though, it has all kinds of limitations and throws very confusing error messages. It's the IE6 of e-mail clients

That only shows which email clients or webmail systems don't block web bugs (embedded tracking images) by default. And which don't have good enough spam filtering to reject those messages before the user saw them. And it only counts messages which were opened (and not just ignored). And it's biased by the demographics of the mailing lists used by their users. For example, it may ignore all email users under the age of 21.
So in my opinion that site provides an imperfect measure of what their users find in their advertising campaigns. It may be dramatically different from what one particular email service provider finds for their general customers. Bill |

Plus, those numbers don't pass the smell test, IMO. I didn't look at how the 'Fingerprint' tech works, but my Thunderbird install is configured to block everything but IMAP and SMTP to mail servers by default, so fingerprinting that doesn't look at the mail I send is very unlikely to work. |
