We use GoogleApps for Education right now but have the mail portion turned =
off (we are still using Firstclass). We are trying to decide whether to pi=
tch Firstclass for gmail this summer. Seems like a smart move because gmai=
l works better with mobile devices. I'm still trying to weigh the pros and=
cons though.
