How bizarre.  I'm sure for the price of asking that they could have
gotten gmail to do the same deal for them or better.  Although I don'
t do it, you can use that with other email clients, and they just
launched the calendar stuff.  I am completely convinced that large
organizations can do really well by outsourcing their email, but
choosing this solution over others strikes me as really weird.  I
predict we'll see a new era of people essentially  blowing off their
mizzou.edu accounts (there was a previous era of that, but you might
be too young to remember it. :-))
