I find it ironic and a bit

I wrote "like...". I did not try to list them all.
I was never forced to communicate with an Apple mail server (or if so did not
notice it). I am forced to use an office.365 server, and 90% of the people I
work with use Microsoft Office and not some Apple Office (although the
students use Pages on their iPads).
(One might make a case for MS still having a near
monopoly on the
desktop OS, but that is less and less relevant today as more and more
computing is done outside of the desktop.)
I doubt that many mail servers are run form mobile devices, and obviously not
all mail servers are Linux based.
As to mail clients, I am certainly old fashioned, but my life is on the
desktop. Laptops and even more phones are used only when unavoidable. And I
own no Tablet and never could find a use for it.
So take my writing as a personnal opinion rather than some case study :)
