    I'd have to say Yahoo, Hotmail, and AOL.

    Google is primarily used by net savvy people IMO, and probably would be 4th or less.

    Top 3 e-mail clients for what? Most used, or best-of-the-best?

    I'd go with FastMail and Gmail (and that's about it) by one definition.

    If you're talking numbers, how about the unscientific test of doing a Google search?

    "@hotmail.com" = 36.5 million
    "@gmail.com" = 24.4 million
    "@yahoo.com" = 219 million
    "@msn.com" = 38.4 million

    So, Yahoo!, Hotmail, MSN (MSN doesn't make sense to me - I think I've actually emailed once in the 7+ years I've been online - but the first two do, and Gmail not being on the list makes sense to me).

    Of course, this excludes those who mask and etcetera, but ...

    ~

    EDIT:

    At one point, I had 7 ... ;)

    Are we talking about email clients or web mail? The most popular email clients are Outlook Express and Outlook.

    I'd go with hotmail, yahoo! and then gmail.

    (Initially, I thought the topic is about email client software - which I'd go with Outlook, Eudora... :)

    Zipping up the .exe before attaching in gmail should help to bypass the antivirus nuisance.

    Thanks. . .I meant web mail. Sorry. I think we have a winner. And about the zipping . . .I tried that, but Gmail still figured it out.

    I'm going to have to agree with mdvaldosta... God Bless Google for GMail, but with the invitation only/cell phone signups, it just won't be as strong in numbers as say a Hotmail would.

    GMail, while increasingly popular among the tech folk... I'd probably guess Yahoo! and Hotmail take the top two email web client spots.

    On a side note, does anybody remember Eudora? How about Pegasus?
