Outsourcing Student (and maybe staff?) Email

Have any of you already evaluated opportunities to outsource your student email accounts to places like Google, Microsoft, etc.? We are hearing more and more about the options, and I believe there are schools (or so we are told) that have already set agreements with Google or Microsoft, and I'm wondering if any of those institutions wouldn't mind sharing knowledge or experience in this area. Now I am hearing that some schools are outsourcing staff email as well. The price may be right, but how are we going to deal with security risk - by encrypting all staff/faculty email? Any thoughts or experiences would be very much appreciated! Thanks much... Connie J.
