As the careful company that it is, Google is always trying to attract more and more clients to its warm, soft and appealing bazoom. A while ago, it gave the world the means to migrate email from old IMAP mail systems to Google Apps, for those who were reluctant to step into the future without bringing along the email from their

past.

It was a real hit, their statistics showed that more than one hundred million email messages had been migrated, but the problem was still there for those who did not use IMAP mail systems and it's not like Google to leave a problem of this magnitude unattended.

As a result, today it announced "the new Google Apps Email Migration API, which can move email from anywhere - not just IMAP systems - to the Premier, Education or Partner Editions of Google Apps. If you need to migrate email from your users' desktops, migrate email from a server not supported by the IMAP migration tool, or do a push migration because of your security policies, a tool built on this API could be the perfect answer" - Gabe Cohen, Google Apps Product Manager.

This comes as the latest product in the long line of Google Apps email innovations rolled out this year. The more prominent of these are the IMAP Support, so that users could use their favorite mail clients like Outlook�, Thunderbird� or your iPhone� with Google Apps, the increased email storage up to an astounding 25 GB per user, the 99,9% uptime guarantee, a new policy management and message recovery system, putting more security and compliance controls in the hands of administrators, the inbound email routing and the email gateway support for pilot configurations, dual delivery and mixed messaging environments and finally, the email migration tool.
