Is anyone Using Gmail for Student Email?

Submitted by mperna on Mon, 05/12/2008 - 8:10am.

Does anyone use Gmail’s educational offer for free
email and Google apps to students?

 

If so:

 

  1. What type of email system did
    you run prior? And are you still running it for staff and faculty?
  2. How long have you had Gmail
    incorporated into your Email production environment?
  3. Do you find support helpful?
  4. How was the migration to Gmail?
  5. What has been the
    student’s reaction to Gmail?

 

If anyone has any horror stories or fantastic experiences
that would be great to hear about as well.

 

Thank you in advance for all your answers and help,

I would love to hear any similar stories about live@edu while
people are at it.  We have been looking at both of those for our campus
solution but have yet to make a final decision.  So far most of what I know
about both is based on testimonials that were provided by either Google or
Microsoft and while I actually think the testimonials I have heard sound quite believable,
it wouldn’t hurt to hear from someone whose name was not sent to me by one of
the vendors!

 

Thanks,

 

Lowell
