Dinkytwist,

I can provide you with the number of Americans that send and receive
emails every day for the year 2004 and for 2005.

Market share information for email clients is scarce. I was only able
to locate some percentages for Outlook, Outlook Express and other
leading clients for 2002.

Please let me know via the ?clarification? feature if these figures
data would serve your purpose?

Thanks, 
Bobbie7
