I'm curious to check out the front-end services they provide, since google can afford to put a lot more into it that I can. I've already seen a lot of folks (myself included) use a number of gmail accounts with various fwding rules to handle some clever things -- I don't think that will stop, but instead it seems google is opening up to yet another market ;>
Welcome to the new, improved google, now with less "don't be evil" attitude. I see google as an uneasy adolsecent: "Yeah, we used to hang with the kind rainbow brothers in the park, and eat only tofu and sprouts. Then we got a job at the mall..." Where does this trajectory put them in the next 3-5 years? Sorry, I know this rant is not really ULUG material.

I.e., you set up your mail server information in DNS to point to their
mail input. Then you configure your mail client to talk to their mail
output.

answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of
confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
