Google Apps experiences
Has anyone experience with using Google Apps?
The server I’m currently using for my private email will be shut down soon, so I need to decide upon a future way of handling my personal email. I have low requirements, they key feature I need is a good spam filter; Google Apps can certainly provide this. Since I’m the single user, the free “standard” edition should be easily good enough.
Obviously, since I don’t have a reachable mail server myself anymore, I’d either have to rent a server just for my personal email, or use some hosted solution like Gmail, even if it is not open source.
So, did you try it? Did you return to a different solution?
- ☹ Privacy issues of using Google
- ☹ Free service limitations (50 acounts, sufficient for me)
- ☺ Good spam filter
- ☺ Good Webmail
- ☺ High availability
- ☺ IMAP support (at least to some extend
- ☺ Android support - my next phone likely will be an Android device
Any points I’m missing? Email me: erich (a) debian org
Update: I have received a lot of feedback, much of which is very positive on Gmail/Google Apps for personal use.
