Gmail option is interesting.... I may need to check that one out as

than @gmail.com. I was investigating at some point last year perhaps
having managed mail service system, but did not find any good options
for it. Gmail does not support IMAP and alone my mailbox size is about
4.5Gb. (M$ outslurp would die and loose all of it with less than quarter
of that....)
Gmail does allow you to a custom "From:" address after you authenticate
the email address. Its a simple process but you do have some issues with
mail servers looking for a reverse DNS entry and your email could end up
in the recipients spam box.
Gmail now supports IMAP. I think they rolled out this feature couple of
months ago.

Ha! More interesting information....
I will take another look at Google mail stuff.....
Thanks....
Now, Does anyone know a good reason not to look into google provided
services?
Some of my concerns would be:
- my stuff would be indexed on the server other than my own, who will
have access to this data?
- same above concern, if I choose to use their web apps (word
processing etc....)
- While I'm not a security expert, Is my data safer on my own server
than on google servers?
- is google becoming a M$ like bully while they grow ....
- anything else?
