I'd say one of the largest clients is actually iOS Mail, which probably has a significant usage even for the major webmail services with their own clients. Given the way that iOS is usually set up, and (at least until recently) how a third party mail app couldn't be used everywhere iOS Mail was, there are even a lot of folks who have it configured even if they mostly use another app.
The other large set is going to be Outlook either connected to Exchange or O365, but that's not going to be IMAP. Apple Mail is also a decent percentage, that would be IMAP. Thunderbird has some decent usage for us. mutt/pine/etc are in the noise.
