The lists I run, these days, are for things like community organizations, parent-teacher groups, churches, and such. What I find is that over half of my subscribers - both in the high-income city where I live, and Boston Public Schools (where I used to live) - are coming in through yahoo and hotmail accounts, followed by a mix of ISP accounts with broadband providers (Comcast, RCN, Verizon in these climes). Now an awful lot of these folks ALSO have work email, and a lot of some other personal email address - so my guess is that: - folks who don't do a lot of email, sign up for a yahoo or hotmail account because it's free and easy - more sophisticated folks, sign up for a free account to segregate truly personal, and work related email from lists, and commercial sites This also doesn't seem to be limited to more settled folks - all three of my college/just-post-college kids have either a hotmail, yahoo, or gmail account (1 each) - again, probably because it's free. They use accounts on one of my servers for more official things like job applications. Now, given that pretty much every parent with a kid in the local schools is on a parent-teacher email list; and everyone in the two churches I support is on their respective email lists; and there are very active neighborhood level parent and community lists - there are an awful lot of email list users around here. I expect the same is true elsewhere (how many people reading this are on a school or church related list, not to mention various technical lists?). And I note that those lists are all quite active. Now, the list activity is still dwarfed by spam - but once you filter out the spam, and general commercial crap, I expect what's left in most people's email is a mix of directly personal, work, email lists, and notifications from social network sites. I could be wrong on this - but I have a pretty good window into email use in this corner of the world, and that's what I see.
