one of our first IT decisions was to use Google Apps as our email/calendar service.
it is free, and we are all used to using gmail as our personal email service.

my impression is that our email on google apps is slower than the public gmail service.
it is also not very reliable..
for example, for the past 30 minutes i am getting the following message when trying to connect:

We’re sorry, but your Gmail account is currently experiencing errors. You won’t be able to log in while these errors last, but don’t worry, your account data and messages are safe. Our engineers are working to resolve this issue.

Please try logging in to your account again in a few minutes.

another issue is that their app for blackberry and their pop sync is kind of buggy.

still it is free, so i guess i shouldn’t complain.

UPDATE: it has now been several hours. and still i can’t access my email through their site. sent email to their support. no progress, yet.
