Over the past decade, Gmail has become the go-to email service for most people. A lot of times, it’s simply assumed that you use Gmail, and there’s actually a bit of a stigma against Yahoo and Hotmail. But, in more recent times, Gmail has actually been losing quite a bit of market share, mainly to Apple. In fact, within the past year, Gmail’s market share has plummeted from 35.25% to 27.95%. This translates to hundreds of millions of users, but why are people leaving Gmail in droves? Well, the truth is that much of Gmail’s original appeal has worn off as most competitors have either caught up or even overtaken Google’s offering. Outlook, for example, offers even more storage than Gmail and Outlook have better integration with Microsoft Office products. Aside from this, Gmail has more or less hit market saturation as everyone who uses the internet frequently pretty much already has a Gmail. So, as competitors catch up to Google’s market saturation, Google will just continue to lose market share. Finally, last but not least, Apple has been very much leaning toward the privacy aspect of technology. A great example of this is their recent mail privacy protection program. This video explains the various reasons that Gmail is losing market share and the future of Gmail.

For people wondering how the stats were calculated, Litmus tracked 1.7 billion email opens between September of 2021 and October of 2022, and they compiled their findings. You can read more about it here: www.litmus.com/email-client-market-share/

You're using data from post-Apple MPP launch which means that all emails in apple are considered open. This changes things completely since other providers do not do this

@@malonson4537 Yep, I saw this. The metrics by Litmus for service provider appears to be (based on it seems largely smartphones rather than desktop): about 40% for Apple and 30% for Gmail, 8% for Outlook and 5% for Yahoo, rest is others, as of 2021 and probably true today.

@cawheeler27 Жыл бұрын

Since no one else seems to notice this, I'll point it out. The market share that graph is referring to is Client market share. When it says Apple has 59.5% of the market, it means Apple's mail clients, not iCloud email. When it refers to Gmail, it is referring to the web gmail client and the iOS and Android apps of the Gmail client. I have a gmail account, but I access it through Apple Mail on my iPhone. This would be reported under Apple on this graph, despite the fact that I'm using the gmail service. Gmail is still very dominant in terms of the service people are using, it's just that most people use the included mail app on their phone to access their gmail account.

@boian-inavov Жыл бұрын

I think the main issue with your presentation is that you confuse the Gmail client with the Gmail email (or Google account). As an email I think it’s safe to say that at this point in time everyone has one, so they’re quite safe in that aspect. As a client though, it doesn’t really matter which you use since they’ll use your email data from the email that their hosting for you anyway. The Gmail client is just there as the default way to access your inbox, I personally use the Apple email client, just because it syncs well through my devices. But confusing that and saying that people are switching to Outlook because of more storage, that’s not a client perk, but an email hosting service perk, and I’d be highly sceptical if people switch their 15+ years old email addresses just so they can have a couple of GBs of storage for example.

@BoltRM Жыл бұрын

I see both Outlook & Gmail accounts have 15GB free storage, but Microsoft offers an additional 5GB on their OnDrive. It's free, but I prefer to not split up my storage into a 2nd storage acct for only 5GB worth. If I need more, I'd rather get another free 15GB Gmail account, than a 2nd storage acct for only 5GB. If that makes sense..

@SalePetrovic87 Жыл бұрын

There are few Gmail features that are extremely useful that you won't get with any other email service or client... The most important one in my opinion would be the labels that allow you to better organise your emails without the need to copy/paste them into multiple folders (and waste space if they have some heavier attachments). One super-feature would also be adding any word or set of characters after a + sign that would follow your gmail username and before the @ sign - any email sent to this address would still be received as normaly, but you'll be able to see to wich + signature was the email sent and you can use that for organising your inbox (also, if you receive an email from an unknown sender, you could see what email address had they exactly used and you could pinpoint the origin of the leak)... As long as at least the label system for organizing isn't offered by any other service, I don't see any competition and if they ever offer such a solution, they'll still have to compete against gmail with their own super-features or at least match the ones Gmail offers to even cause a concern for Google. Now, although this sound as if I'm defending Google, I'd actually like to see competition doing any of this. I would probably even switch to Outlook as my main email client if it would offer these 2 features I was talking about...

Ironically Hotmail got combined into Outlook, so I can use my old hotmail account with outlook. I think back in the day Outlook was just an external (personal/business) email server creation program, while Hotmail a part of MSN was a client end email service (usually used through browsers at the time). So Microsoft basically did the same thing google did, but with their services focused on email. I think Outlook still does have it's features from the past along with having the Hotmail style email client for browsers and the app for smartphones (which for the latter gmail also has).

But it just always logged me into the new gmail account for whatever reason and I haven’t had access to the old hotmail for YEARS. You said it merged into outlook which I never looked at or thought about once and tried to log in with the old Hotmail info and it’s actually the old one.

Especially the integration between Microsoft products makes me miss MS.
