no, the homeusers which does not archive their mails over years
and are too stupid to type "[enter mailprogram} add new account"
in the google searchbox and refuse to understand why incoming and
outgoing mail is not the same are using only webmail
the rest of the world is using in additionally for what it was
made: a temporary solution and you can be pretty sure that the
business users are the majority if you not only count blindly
and instead take the amout of invested money in your bill
