Re: Gmail for students and IMAP

Quick Feedback - 

 

One of our campuses is getting ready to let Microsoft manage its student
email systems. Because of the laws regulating higher education loans I
suggested the campus look to see if advertising would be used to help
defray Microsoft's costs and sure enough the students will be subjected
to advertising for student loans. While I don't think this is a big
deal, we encouraged our campus to place a disclaimer stating (in effect)
that the student is leaving the University web pages and that the campus
does not endorse the products the students will be exposed to.

Kamnab,

SUNY Orange has right-sourced its email with Google for all students and
employees.

College employees are primarily MS Outlook users for which we have set
them for IMAPing.

Google provides on-line documentation for doing so.  If you are
interested, then I can share our documentation as well
