Couldn&#x27;t agree more. I run a number of my own services on my own servers but email is not one of them. I don&#x27;t have the time or energy to keep up with it and it&#x27;s imperative that I receive all emails sent to me and all my sent emails are received. Google apps does that perfectly for me and I don&#x27;t have to worry about it.<p>As far as &quot;I take issue with Google making the decision that everyone is going to switch, now and with out sufficient warning.&quot; it would be nice to get some notice on these changes no doubt but email is shit. It just is but we are stuck with it and at least google is attempting to drag it forward even if in doing so they leave some outdated servers&#x2F;services behind. I&#x27;ll take more secure of infinitely backwards compatible any day.
