Re: Experience outsourcing student email to Live@edu

[Sherry Horeanopoulos <sah () FSC EDU>]

Frankly we had a disaster when we tried to go to Live@edu when we attempted it in 2006-2007.  We had to retreat, but 
I'm not so sure that the application was "ready for primetime" at the time we tried it.  However, when we investigated 
outsourcing our email this year, we decided upon Google and I would never look back at this point.  They made it easy.  
The integration was a cinch and I seamlessly migrated all the existing mail from our Ipswitch IMail server.

Tufts is evaluating Live@edu vs Google for student email. We'd like to 
hear from schools with Live@edu experience (good or bad) in the areas of 
security, privacy and contract negotiations.  If you'd rather  talk with 
us privately, please email me offline.
