[TYPO3-dev] Google eMail accounts for your domain

[R. van Twisk]

Hey Andreas,

I think it looks much more professional as a school
when you provide email addresses under your own domain.

Also what if a name already exists on google??
Should a student have it's name like : p.peters123 at gmail.com?

I also think when I look at www.gmail.com, I think it's a horrible
user interface design.

I seriously think that any school, university and company should
have it's email policy there, not relying on others service. But that
is personal.

At least I don't want my students say 'But sir, gmail was down!!!'.

About creating such extension (it can be useful under some situations),
you might suggest your school to sponsor such a project?

Just my opinion,
Ries
