Functionally - its great. Users can keep using their normal client via IMAP and plus it synchs to phones and PDAs relatively well. There's a slight issue of professionality if you're a business, but you can host your domain with google and have a proper email address. I'm pleasantly surprised that Google Apps for Education is free/free. Downsides are, its overseas (not under NZ law) and you need a level of trust in the provider. Google has more of that than hotmail or yahoo or any other webmail provider, but it is less than it used to be. -- Craig Falconer _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
