yes, but i dont see what "Google Apps Team Edition" or "Standard Edition" gets |
| 23 |
me vs me simply going to gmail.com and creating a new account ... same for the |
| 24 |
calendar |

i'm already using ~/.forward which means mail still goes to mail.g.o and that |
| 37 |
server takes care of forwarding it to my private gmail.com account. then my |
| 38 |
mail client fetches it from gmail.com via the normal pop/imap methods. there |
| 39 |
is no need to share passwords between gmail.com and g.o. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
so i dont see what advantage this process ive been using for years has over |
| 42 |
this method. they look pretty much equivalent. |
