Do they want this just to be able to read old email? Or do they have specific requirements for archiving? Archiving for the purposes of those requirements can be a bit tough to implement - you might, for example, have to support nonrepudiation, etc. I would definitely recommend that you use a hosted solution for that, if that's what they need. Google has one (of course!) but so do lots of other vendors, and if you're not using Apps you might want to go with one of those other vendors. Those solutions tend not to be inexpensive, however. > PS - And Dave, you'll be glad to know that I'm signing up for a trial > Google Apps for Business account just to fully explore its potential. Good for you! If you have questions about Apps, feel free to send them off-list. Their trials are only thirty days, so you kind of have to dedicate some serious time to evaluate things. Also, there are some very minor differences between Apps for Business and Apps for Nonprofits. They're pretty minor, but if you're going to suggest Apps for Nonprofits (free) to your client you might want to familiarize yourself with them.
