Looks interesting. But I'm a slow adopter. When things are working I tend to just leave them alone.

They call it Google Apps. I have set up over 100 of these accounts for friends and neighbours in the last couple of years. You create an account with google apps (standard edition<http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en-GB/group/index.html>is free - you do not need the premium edition) Google provide you with some unique data that you then upload to your domain registrat (Go Daddy or whomever you use) Google verify you own the account. You create users in google for your domain eg, rocky.smolin at bchacc.com, or max.smolin at bchacc.com Optional step, You assign nicknames to the users, eg, Rocky, info, sales, support, papa, themainman then you go back to Go Daddy and change your MX records to point to google servers. No more backup, no more spam, no more email virus's, no more deleting files, no more slow searching, all email will come from your domain as if you had an expensive exchange server and it is all free. Also, you have shared calendars and groups and a whole lot more. You can leave your existing website where it is, no need to change that, but in the future, you have the option of asking google to host the site also, and then you have free hosting also. As I mentioned, if you have any questions, just ask. HTH Mark On 11 January 2011 13:45, Rocky Smolin <rockysmolin at bchacc.com> wrote: > Scanpst failed. But I got that bad boy out of there anyway.
