What do you guys use to send and recieve emails from "@company.com"?<p>Also, is Google Apps a good choice for <i>individuals</i> rather than companies?
Rackspace Email. It's $2/mailbox/month, with a 100% uptime SLA, 24/7/365 phone/email/chat support, and automatic backups.<p><a href="http://www.rackspace.com/apps/email_hosting/rackspace_email/" rel="nofollow">http://www.rackspace.com/apps/email_hosting/rackspace_email/</a><p>If you're not attached to the Gmail interface (I prefer desktop/mobile clients), Rackspace has the best e-mail hosting offering I know of. Google's customer support record doesn't even put them in the running if e-mail is important to your business.
I use FastMail for my personal mail and Google Apps for business -- but that's only because I stare at FastMail all day. I'd highly recommend a FastMail business account for anyone looking for an interface comparable to GMail.
Google Apps for Business is a good choice for individuals. I use it for several accounts and it works lovely.<p>However, they recently stopped accepting free sign-ups and is now a paid service. $5/user/month won't break the bank.
