google apps vs. gmail

Hello,

I recently looked into google apps after searching through the forums and finding a (perhaps very old) recommendation by (the) Tim regarding google apps.

I've signed up mainly so that I can have emails associated with my domain. I decided not to go with godadday (where I bought the domain) because of concern for their blacklisting policies and just general concern that I wouldn't be properly receiving all of my emails (from prospective clients).

Question: is mail through Google Apps reliable ? Would the reliability be any different from that of the gmail account that I've happily been using ?

thanks !

Google Apps is as reliable, and the same interface as Gmail - I use both daily.

The only catch being that *some* apps and features aren't available in Apps yet - but the core functionality is the same.

I have 2 Google Apps accounts to handle our business side and we have a total of 6 Gmail accounts. They all work wonderfully well. I can add someone to the GA accounts in a couple of seconds and their e-mail is live. Simple as that. GA E-mail works flawlessly. I have all our accounts set up on my Droid and I've never had any issues with it at all. I do have our GA accounts set up as IMAP rather than POP, but that's another discussion.

Great to hear positive feedback. I'm not likely to be adding more than a few accounts (aliases?), but the idea that I have an email address associated with my domain--and for free, and with very similar functionality and reliability of gmail--is pretty incredible.

I have to wonder how many people know about this option..

thanks, guys.

I have google apps set up with my domain, and it has the exact same interface as gmail. Fast and reliable, its pretty near perfect.

I use Google Apps for my business email too. As other have said, it works great. The web interface works great, it works great with my OSX Mail app and I get push email to my iPhone... for free. Not much to complain about there.

If you worried about its reliability maybe you should give this link a read. If it is solid enough for the county of Los Angeles I have to think it is ok for a single proprietorship or personal use.

I have use google apps and had a couple of gmail accounts for several years now with no issues. It certainly blows hotmail out of the water, imo.
