They store it. Just like they do with SMTP passwords. FWIW, the choices as I see them are: hand over your domain to Google for Business (or equiv), hand over passwords, or run your own mail GUI. We have been experimenting with POP forwarding, but the delays are annoying, and Gmail (rightly) does not accept all mail so you have to garbage collect the POP boxes. It's the best scenario from a false-positive perspective imho. > I really, really don't like the idea of encouraging users > to give passwords to third parties. I encourage users to use a different password (and email) for every account. This requires a 3rd party password manager, which presents other problems. (Every software problem is solved through another layer of indirection. Every layer of indirection creates a new software problem. :-) Cheers, Rob
