E-mail Around The World, July 2003

MSN Hotmail was the hottest e-mail service in all the measured countries – except for the U.S., where Yahoo! holds a slight edge.

With the exception of the U.S., MSN Hotmail was the leading email service during July 2003 in all the countries that Hitwise monitors. Yahoo Mail holds a modest lead in the U.S., but the popular portal’s mail service is a very distant second nearly everywhere else.
