One data point I look at is Litmus' annual state of email report, which
among other things lists the top email apps they see through their tools.

The two key points are usually:

1: The majority of mail is consumed on phones
2: A very, very large junk of mail is consumed through IMAP clients. That
includes apps like Gmail or Yahoo Mail on phones which are not necessarily
used to access Gmail or Yahoo but other email services.

That matches our own data as well.
