What would your internal IT dept charge to provide all these services ?

The latest GoogleMail feature is :

Embarrassment reducing new message notifications  "Ever replied to a message only to find out that someone sent a better, smarter reply right before you? Now, if someone sends a reply while you're in the middle of reading a conversation (or replying to it), you'll get a notification that a new message has arrived. Click "update conversation" to see what you’ve missed."

You see there are benefits in letting a third party such as Google have access to all your emails !

The Google Apps Team automatically monitor abuse@yourdomain.com and postmaster@yourdomain.com to ensure that they can properly address all reports of spam, abuse, and technical issues.

If you'd like a copy of messages sent to abuse@yourdomain.com and postmaster@yourdomain.com, create email lists for both addresses, and add yourself as a recipient:

• abuse @ your.domain     Email list     2 recipients   Google Support,your-admin-user
• postmaster @ your.domain    Email list     2 recipients   Google Support,your-admin-user

Since abuse and postmaster are reserved aliases, you won't be able to use them as usernames or nicknames. If you'd also like to trap emails sent to admin and webmaster click on User Accounts chose your-admin-user and create an aliases for admin and webmaster by adding nicknames for admin and webmaster !

There are multiple editions of Google Apps and Google Sites to meet the needs of different organizations.

So whether you're a small business, a Fortune 500 company, a non-profit or a school, Google can power up your organization with the right services and support.

I missed this news when it was announced but if Yahoo! Mail can go to "infinity and beyond" for FREE then maybe Yahoo! flickr can too !

As Yahoo! Mail approaches its 10-year anniversary, I’m the lucky one who gets to announce that we will begin offering everyone unlimited email storage starting in May 2007. To mark the occasion, I checked in with David Nakayama, our group vice president of engineering, for some perspective on this milestone. In case that name doesn’t ring a bell, he’s the developer of RocketMail, one of the world’s first webmail products, which Yahoo! acquired and relaunched as Yahoo! Mail in 1997

Doesn't it make you proud to have been a pioneering RocketMail user (if like me you were one) !
