Data shows that in October of this year, Gmail had 287.9 ​​million unique users, which exceeded Microsoft's Hotmail's 286.2 million. In third place is Yahoo, with a total of 281.7 million unique users.

This summer, Gmail once stated that it has become the world's first e-mail service, but no third-party data at that time confirmed this statement.

Although Gmail ranks first in the world, Yahoo Mail is still in the lead in the US market, with monthly independent users visiting 7 million more than Gmail, and has a high penetration rate. In October, 40.8% of Americans used Yahoo Mail, while Americans using Gmail and Hotmail accounted for 36.7% and 18.9% respectively.
