yes, but i dont see what "Google Apps Team Edition" or "Standard Edition" gets me vs me simply going to gmail.com and creating a new account ... same for the calendar > > personally, i just created a dedicated gmail account and set my dev.g.o > > forward to that. then i fetch the mail from gmail's pop interface. how > > do these offerings provide anything over that sort of setup ? > > That requires giving gmail your pop password which not everyone likes. > In this setup you could use your d.g.o procmail to forward mail to > something like 'google-hosted.mail.gentoo.org' which would stuff it in > gentoo.org gmail account and you gentoo.org account could be your > d.g.o password, or something different. i'm already using ~/.forward which means mail still goes to mail.g.o and that server takes care of forwarding it to my private gmail.com account. then my mail client fetches it from gmail.com via the normal pop/imap methods. there is no need to share passwords between gmail.com and g.o. so i dont see what advantage this process ive been using for years has over this method. they look pretty much equivalent. -mike
