My next article will be on current state of un-acquired email startups. I'll cover funding information, employee count, year founded. The funding information alone would be quite useful.
As a side note: I predict that we'll see a significant increase in email startups in the next 2 years.

It would nice if you could also show a chart/graph of which companies and acquisition count. So I think Yahoo is leading the way close to 5 acquisitions or so
It would be worth mentioning Opera's acquisition of FastMail, and FastMail's subsequent split from them.
This could be useful to detect broader M&A trends by subject area. (Which is one possible way to decide on a business - by likelihood of M&A exit - not necessarily a great way, but worth thinking about.)
