=0AI'm replying on-list since it seems like a lot of people are in the same=
boat. =0A =0AHere's a summary of what happened to us. Please feel free to=
jump in if you had a different experience, or have more information.=0A =
=0AGoogle sent us a notice in December that as of June 8 they would be disc=
ontinuing the Google for ISPs program and that we had to find a different e=
-mail provider. Unfortunately, they only sent this notice to the account t=
hat initially created the service, which was un-monitored. I have heard =
the same thing from others. They did not include a notice about the discon=
tinuation in their monthly billing, only in e-mail and only to the account =
that initiated the google service.=0A =0AWe actually found out about it som=
e time in February. I spoke with the Google contact listed in the e-mail a=
nd was told that they were indeed cancelling the service, but wasn't given =
a reason. We also asked if it was possible to move to a different Google s=
ervice, Google Apps for Business for example, but was told that it would be=
against their terms or service and would result in a cancellation of the s=
ervice.=0A =0AAfter a lot of research in Google's forums, it looked like a =
lot of other people were in the same boat we were. We ended up talking wit=
h another e-mail provider and migrating all of our mail. Several weeks ago=
we asked Google for an extension because the migration was taking longer t=
han expected. We were given until the 16th of June and told that no furthe=
r extensions would be given. I have spoken to one person who was given unt=
il the end of June.=0A =0AHere is the original notice we received from goog=
le. I hope this helps others in the same boat=0A =0A =0ADecember 10, 2014=
