ASU joins Gmail

Just got this e-mail:

Arizona State University, in partnership with Google, is excited to
announce a new, improved student email system with email, calendaring
and IM built on Gmail and Google's other collaboration tools. The
benefits to you include:

* A massively increased storage quota - 2 Gigs

* Shared calendaring to coordinate schedules with classmates

* Instant messaging capability right from your inbox

* A search mechanism to mine your emails

* Improved spam and virus filtering

Best of all, you keep your current asu.edu address, keeping you
connected with the ASU community and ensuring seamless email delivery.
You will continue to login to email as you do other ASU systems - using
your ASURITE User ID - and your EMMA archive will be available after the
switch. The complete transition to Gmail for ASU and the
decommissioning of EMMA services will occur in January 2007, but you
don't have to wait.
For more details or to sign up simply click www.asu.edu/emailsignup. For
frequently asked questions, please visit »gmail.wiki.asu.edu.
I'm glad they made the switch to use Google for their e-mail as the current system is crappy. How many other schools are doing this?

Ours isn't at least to my knowledge, but they did increase our email storage limits to 100mb once everyone started ditching their crappy email system in favor of gmail. I just have the school email forwarded to my email account.

And the current interface for our school email still really really sucks.

I usually just have my school email forwarded to my Gmail account anyways. If I want to send an email using my schools email address, I do have to use their webmail

Exactly what I do.

I currently have mine forward too... but since they are upgrading and I really like GMail, I just might use the school e-mail now.
