So, if I have read the google apps pages correctly, your suggestion is
"get Google to host your email" ? I had missed that they did that.
There is an awful lot of waffle about their webmail, with tiny
throw-away comments about forwarding or using a real email client.
Would this not mean I will be paying someone to host the website and
then using google for the email ?
