Google Hosted Email
Hey all! I was just wondering how many other BB owners have been able to get hold of a Google Hosted Email account? What's your opinion?
I got selected and am now able to offer @mydomain Gmail accounts to my members. I have to admit it is fantastic; a joy to use and so much better than ANY other member email system in my opinion! One less resource to worry about as well! |

I've beening using it for quite a while now but only for staff members, I think its the best option out there, I think MS offer something similar called live domain? not sure now as I was about to signup but then found google
I know I am limited to 25 accounts, which is more than enough I'm not sure at what point they might start charging? |

I waited months for a reply (I didn't mind, I wasn't expecting one) - I was overjoyed. They aren't on general distribution on my site yet, I'm limited to 100 accounts. I've given it out to supporting members and bands so far, but plan to use up about 90, and keep a few spare incase I get any staff in future.
I haven't seen or heard anything about the MS offering. Not that I hate MS, I have a Windows Mobile - it's just I get uncomfortable and upset when I think about Hotmail. On that MS suck. I got Hotmail back when it was independant - when it came to MS ownership I was happy for a while... But not for long, they ruined it. I thought I'd be able to keep my Hotmail for life - I feel like that about Google now. In Google I trust heh. |

I just set up all my senior members with accounts last weekend, I'm just trying to figure out how to send them their log in info.
What I find to be very cool is that if you have the Google toolbar and enable the Send with Gmail option, you can change that to use your Google hosted email account. |

I just found out about this last week and got approved for an account yesterday so will be setting this up this week, looks great though. I use Gmail for all my personal mail anyway so this could be great for my members.
The fact that they can chat and see each other online should be a great addition too |
