I think this is one of those tech bubble things- everyone we know uses Gmail. But outside of tech circles a great many people still use Hotmail and Yahoo mail. Like my parents.

At least they're not using AOL.

So true! People should stop treating their own little circle as representative of the world.

Yes, I know my mom and many of her friends use Yahoo. (My dad just uses the same university email he's had forever.)

I'm pretty sure she's used it since before gmail even existed. It works for her, why would she switch?

Yea, same with my in-laws & other relatives. In the regular world, Yahoo Mail works just fine for plenty of people.
