Google Apps, targeted for corporate & organisation users, soon implementing migration tool to the application to assist their consumers switch to Google Apps faster.
3 months ago, I have convinced my company top management to use Google Apps as primary email system. With free subscription we got 2GB email space for each user with company email address. Users have option to use GMail interface or their regular email client. The best treat that the management satisfied with the Google Apps was its “spam filter”, my boss said “No spam at all…” after switched.
Google will be adding mail migration to Google Apps this week, along with some new features for Google Apps.
This is being promoted as especially helpful for organizations looking to better organize their emails, and migrating them to Google Apps is a great way to start. Mail will be migrated to a user’s GMail account, organized into conversation threads (Google style) and made searchable (also Google style). Mail migration currently supports only those email servers with an IMAP interface. The emphasize on documents being made fully searchable is important to note in this case of mail migration to Google, as you’ll probably want to first be well versed in the act of searching for emails, since you will no longer have folders to organize your documents.
Other features announced or upcoming with this release include a shared address book, bigger GMail attachment size, and multi-user chats, among other things. The biggest benefit of this is of course the integration with the full suite of tools offered in Google Apps.
