Grand Valley State University is switching all student email to Google Mail

via GMail @ GVSU – Computing and Technology Support – Grand Valley State University.

It’s about darn time. But kudos to GVSU for finally doing it. As brad points out, we all suggested it ages ago. It was just a matter of time I suppose. The only downside is the email address changes from @student.gvsu.edu to @mail.gvsu.edu, but they say the @student address will work for a year after the switch.

I hosted mail for the domains on the-bob for a year or two and it was a horrible experience so when Google Apps opened up, I shoved everybody over there and things couldn’t be better.
