I find it ironic and a bit disturbing that you don't mention the company that comes closest to controlling half of all email share, Apple, but do kick the dead horse of Microsoft's non-existent email monopoly.
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 :)
