Ok, here's the problem:
I want to make some web-mail application / portal thingy.
Everithing I did and plan to do is easily calculated in term of storage space in the DB and bandwith needed.
Well all exept mail module.
I come from a country where still majority users connect trough dial-up ( phone central is usualy from second world war - germans installed it !!!, and a great number of telephone users are doubles, triples... ( on one line they put 2 - 5 households
This leads to the usage of mail-ing to be veeery limited - so any statistics from here would not represent the picture from the Europe(EU), North America, Japan/China...
The pool is above and still any comments are welcome on the following:
1) How large mailbox you use and realy need ( ok google realy goes to the nonsence limits ),
2) How many emails do you exchange daily
3) How large you average mail is ( just text or attachement 1, 2, 5, 10, 100 MB
4) What is the purpose - business or private or ( No need to answer this one if cut's in your privacy)
5) Which country ( again not necesary )
6) If possible categorize: computer addicted or pure neccesity ( if you speak for someone else's who's work is not primarily connected to computers )
7) Are you mailing stats constant for each day or do they vary and if possible how often and how much.
The purpose of this questionare is not to take your email adresses - so do not post them.
The idea is just for me to get some grasp on how it is done in the white world, and others who need this info can freely use it.
Notes:
- If you have links to any statistical data on-line ( that does not to be paid for ) do link it
- Already searched many self-called "The best" services - but got only their marketing data - nothing empirical.
Thanks for any piece of information.
