Google Account Upgrade
Google is upgrading their Google Apps account infrastructure. This is being done so that Google Apps accounts can behave more similarly to a regular Google account. This upgrade will only impact those who have other Google accounts.
I have a personal @gmail.com account. How does this upgrade impact me?
I created a regular Google account with my George Fox e-mail address to use a non-Google Apps product. How does this upgrade impact me?
Third-Party Clients
While you can use Gmail and Calendar in third-party clients, IT recommends that you use them in the native web environment for the full set of features. If you would like to use your Gmail and Calendar with Outlook (Windows only), Mail and iCal (Mac OS X), iOS devices (iPhone/iPad), or Android devices, please refer to these provided setup guides.
