Are they mostly talking to friends via email? Probably not--I don't think that's ever been the case with teens--but I can't imagine that they just flat out do not have an account anywhere.

My non-scientific research suggests that the "teens don't have an email account" is 100% myth.

There's no research to cite because as you rightly concluded, if you don't have email then you don't have Facebook or much else.
