Om Malik reported the Radicati Group 's email forecast.Here's the Radicati Group view between 2006 and 2010:

2010 |

1.4 billion |
2.5 billion |
Instant Messaging accounts |
0.94 billion |
1.4 billion |

21.4 Mbytes/person/day |

I believe some of these forecast elements need some discussion. Only 500 million more IM accounts? What about those with multiples? I've got a AIM, Skype, Yahoo! Messenger and my enterprise IM account, or is that already factored into this list. What about mobile IM?
I find it hard to believe that there is SO MUCH SPAM out there. Surely, we'll get better tools to destroy SPAM before it even gets to my inbox?
