Every native API offered on appengine has commercial saas alternatives, and almost all of them are highly competitive and more fully fledged. The value of appengine lies in the great integration and easy access, and the assumption that they will improve over time.
Why is mail so special that it can't 'just work'? Google obviously has awesome existing infrastructure for it, and it's such a bedrock of cloud systems that pretty much every app on appengine probably uses it in some capacity. I would also say that having had to resort to sendgrid integration from appengine, it was a frustrating experience, not least taking days to get to the point I could send emails. This is a pretty disappointing announcement. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group.
