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,

Yes, along with the university we use GMail. its been 2 years now. Don't
really know about the support from Google, probably because its never down.
:-) The support students ask for is how to set it up for outlook and we have
instructions on that.

I can say is it has worked a lot better than Novell Netmail, which was the
prior email system the students used and I have noticed that students use
their Hofstra gmail accounts a lot more than they used the netmail accounts.
