Google Apps Releases Email Migration Tool

We are seriously considering moving Little Flock Christian School from Microsoft Exchange to Google Apps Education Edition this summer. I applied for the Education Edition a few weeks ago and received approval last week. I started to look at what the migration would involve and found that they still had not released a migration tool for moving from Microsoft Exchange.
Today, I got an email from Google Apps announcing the release of new features, including the email migration tool. Google Premier and Education editions now have access to a migration tool that allows admins to transfer all their users’ email data from an IMAP server (including Microsoft Exchange) to Google Apps.
They also added a shared address book, multi-person chat, slideshow viewer, increased attachment size, calendar gallery and gadget search.
For more details check out the New Features for Google Apps page.

My main complaint with apps right now is that the Gmail for mobile java application doesn’t work with it. It’s also difficult to move from a gmail account to an apps account. Unless there’s something new in this release, your labels don’t get transfered.
The start page was not quite up to the level of iGoogle. Hopefully this new release has fixed that.
You also have to have a regular Google account to access Google Groups. It would be nice if this was integrated.
On the whole, I like it, but it isn’t perfect.
