Just like a rock weathers in the wind, snow, and water.

still the most used worldwide though.

Wrong. Way wrong. As of the last reported record of Hotmail, they had 369 million active accounts, and were in decline. Gmail currently has 425 million active, and are still experiencing growth.

Usually when you provide a counter argument you post a link supporting your claim...

Like this - http://www.usatoday.com/tech/columnist/edwardbaig/story/2012-07-31/outlook-email/56616322/1

"Research firm comScore says Hotmail has 41 million monthly unique visitors; AOL, 24 million. That makes them the No. 3 and No. 4 e-mail providers in the U.S., behind Yahoo Mail, with 84 million unique visitors, and Gmail, 68 million. Worldwide, more than 324 million people still use Hotmail monthly, making it the top provider globally"

Okay, so your source just backed my claim up even more.

Thanks for that.
