Hello, is there a current updated version for 2010 email trends? Thank you for this post. It is very interesting to see what people are using. I didn’t realize so many people still used hotmail.

Hi Ben,

It should be fairly easy to determine whether email is coming from a Google Mail server or not, regardless of whether it’s from Google Apps or Gmail. If you check the SMTP headers of an email you’ve received, there is a “Received: ” header for every server that the message was passed to, with the origin header being last.

An email message from a non Google mail server would have a Received: header that looks like this (IPs changed):

Received: from 192.168.0.0 (HELO 192.168.0.0?) (72.229.21.106)
by mx.notagooglemailserver.com with SMTP; 14 Oct 2010 09:41:55 -0000

and an email message from a Google mail server (whether from gmail or Google Apps mail) would have a Received: header like the following:

Received: from [192.168.0.0] (mail.example.com [192.168.0.0])
by mx.google.com with ESMTPS id mz11sm6886869qcb.39.2010.10.14.02.47.46
(version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=RC4-MD5);

or is there something that I’m missing?

Very interesting! I’m looking at building autocomplete functionality into the email field of my website’s signup form. Basically as the user types in their email, it would suggest different domains to complete their email address with. Obviously these domains would be ordered by popularity.

These top 5 would be a great start, but any chance you’d be willing to publish a more comprehensive list?

Jonathan, we didn’t count google apps. Not sure if it’s not possible or just not feasible.
