I was using Gmail to consolidate all my email accounts as well as other Google services, but while many things were excellent, it wasn’t perfect. Of course, perfect will kill you.<\/p>\n

For a while I had known about Google Apps which is a suite of email, calendar, and other services of high quality suitable to run a large company on – like Genentech, for example, which uses it. And guess what, it’s all free for companies with less than 10 people on it.<\/p>\n

I came across one awesome tool named YippieMove<\/a> that will migrate email between all sorts of accounts, Yahoo to Gmail, AOL or over 100 pre-configured email providers. I used it and love it. I also ran across a couple of good posts that helped me make the transition.<\/p>\n
