Chapter 3. Migrating Email to Google Apps

You’ve set up your Google Apps account, and you’ve added users, so you’d think everyone is ready now to start using Google Apps. It may not be that simple, however. If your users have been using other programs and services for their email, contacts, and calendar, they most likely have a mass of data already in those programs that they’ll want to use in Google Apps. In those cases, you’re going to have to migrate that data into Google Apps, which isn’t always as obvious as you might think.

In this chapter, you’re going to learn how to migrate email. I’m going to first give you the generic instructions, and then I’ll focus on major programs that should help most users.
