I am not sure about now, but the numbers I still have from 12/2006 were:
147,015 Total Account on mail.msu.edu
27,998 Accounts auto-forwarding
So about ~20% or so, definitely not close to a majority but that was 3 years ago. I do know the at least roughly 2/3 of our College's faculty, staff and students forward their MSU email to our GroupWise system. Anyway we could get accurate up-to-date numbers on this from ATS? If for nothing else than curiosity's sake :)

Can you provide any evidence that "most people" use Gmail something other
than mail.msu.edu as their primary mail service? And most people would mean
50% of the all MSU faculty, staff and students. I communicate via e-mail
with a large variety of MSU personnel and it is the rare case that someone
is using a mail service other than mail.msu for this communication.
