Moving a family onto Google Apps

Scott Hanslemann is a very well known developer in Microsoft circles, but is certainly not married to Microsoft technologies. In a recent post, he outlines the process of moving his family (both immediate and extended) onto Google Apps for your Domain. The walkthrough describes the overall setup, but most interestingly describes in great detail how he went about importing email histories from various other services into Google Apps. Great stuff.

The article is packed with useful tips for anyone considering taking the plunge, like the fact that if you want to use your Google Apps mail on your Blackberry, you need to download a separate application for your Blackberry from the one that is used for regular Gmail accounts.

If you've already taken the plunge into Google Apps or are considering doing so, Scott's post is a must-read.
