Every single person I know uses gmail here where I live. I'm the local IT guy here in my small village in the UK and I've not come across anyone NOT using gmail
That's sad. Too bad the entire village doesn't know that Google is shite and that there are better options available.
But it's not shit for them. It's always works, never down, works fast, and reliably on the computers/laptops/phones etc. Most people could not give a monkies if they are tracking cookies. It's easy to use so they have no reason to move away. Not everyone is a tech nerd who looks for other solutions which are normally more complex. They just want something that works, and that is why gmail/google is popular.
