The unavailability of an API to enable pop and IMAP, will
cause a big headache for organization migrating large number of
users. as the technical support will be flooded by inquiries
regarding enabling pop or imap, migrating mailbox content, handling
changes in mail clients. By not providing the API, users will be
responsible to do lots of steps, starting from accepting terms,
imap (for mail box migration), then migrating their mail box
content, then enabling pop3. These complications in migrating
users, will be inconvenient to the users and will lead to an
opposition to the migration.
if google gave us more control using the API, it will help us
automate the whole process and make our life and our users' life
lot more easier. and definitely would increase the convenience and
the migration rate.
I really was expecting a more prompt response from the google the
community needs. but, i know that google won't let us down!
