I have lots of clients who hate thier mail service. They use webmail or whatever thier old host provides. I ALWAYS recommend google apps. I have done tons of reasearch. My clients don't have alot of money and email services are usually pretty expensive. Google apps does a great job with small organizations for free and larger non-profits or educational organizations for free.

I have been using webmail for Intrinsic Web Designs for a couple of years. Just basically having a webmail account that forwards to my personal gmail. Well, the problem is that the webmail account has a really small memory limit and it gets full. Then, my email bounces back. This is really embarassing and I lose messages and clients get frustrated that they can't get ahold of me. It's all bad.

Today I bit the bullet and switched my intrinsicwebdesigns.com email to Google Apps free edition. It's perfect because we only have 2 email addresses so it's free. For the record, you can have up to 10 free. The education and non-profit is much larger if you have a 501(c)(3).

No more full mailboxes, no more lost email, and I'm eating my own dogfood. I am using what I give my clients because I think it the best solution.

Here's the link for more info on the free version of google apps. http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en/group/index.html
