While I have no experience with Google for student email, I’ve used their IMAP services for my personal account as well as their hosted email service for domains and the IMAP experience is very good and works with nearly every IMAP client I’ve thrown at it. It is also SSL protected on both the send and receive. http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799 *Michael Stanclift* *Network Analyst* *Rockhurst University* * * http://help.rockhurst.edu <http://help.rockhurst.edu/> (816) 501-4231 P*Think before you print!* *From:* The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] *On Behalf Of *Kamnab Keo/FS/VCU *Sent:* Wednesday, July 29, 2009 7:39 AM *To:* SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU *Subject:* [SECURITY] Gmail for students and IMAP Can anybody share their experience with Gmail for student email accounts and IMAP access?
