Dont think I'd run a mail server there. Its slow. And I doubt they run backups either.
It'd be more of a learning experience, point taken about backups.
We have Zimbra there for our lab.

After several failures to run Gmail filters. Here is what Gmail gives me...

Some luck you have there Scott.

They had an outage over the weekend too.

@thecreativeone91 I like it, at least until I host my own when I win a C@C server

No backups. You have to take your own.
And they use SAN, so beware!
Well... crap. I can't back mine up at the moment.
Moar researchez needid! -

That sounds nice. I'm looking into setting up my own domain and thinking of email too. I'll keep it in mind

I had to take it off of my phone. Since GMail can't filter incoming emails, it sends so many to my phone that the phone stops working.
I had to start sending alerts to my personal email on Office 365 so that I could receive them.

Can you try accessing it from a different route? Eg VPN instead of direct?
No idea why that would make a difference -
@scottalanmiller Not seeing any issues here with gmail. Also, you can filter incoming emails. Look under Setting > Filters, and use the option to Skip the Inbox (Archive it).

Yeah, the archiving part of it always confused me but that's just their syntax/semantics.

Yeah, that is what I am trying to do but it doesn't work. GMail freezes up. Google doesn't appear to have enough processing power to archive my email. It seems to be archiving new mail, but it can't archive the existing mail. It just doesn't work.

It's more than that. It's an intentionally useless system design. It's not semantics. It's not a new word for something other email systems do. It's a means of hiding the fact that it lacks the most basic features.

The difference is one keeps it in the Inbox and just applies a label. The other actually moves to it that label as a folder. It's weird, yeah.

However, it has been that way for a decade now.

And they still haven't figured out the basics. Gives me no faith that they will ever make Androids usable. It worries me about Chromebooks. It's the one Google product that I really like (even their search has gotten really bad) and I don't trust that it will continue to be good. It seems more likely that they just got lucky and haven't ruined it yet.

Having to use Gmail is a real business instead of doing it at home only has definitely made me completely disagree with the idea of Google Apps. It's just a home user / hobby system. This is useless in a business. Google doesn't understand business users. They are a consumer toy company and nothing more. Their dedication to bad products is a testament to their marketing being all they are relying on rather than making things that work.
