I would also be interested in the answers to these questions. We are also considering switch email from internal servers to one of these services.

Hi everyone,
We are researching email/calendaring alternatives and I'm trying to get
a straight answer about whether the free offering from Google is usable
as far as email goes. There is a "Google Message Security" piece that
you can add (pay service) and it states the following 2 features...
"Stops spam, viruses, phishing, denial of service, directory harvest
attacks, and other attacks before they reach your network without
message loss or disruptions to email service"
"Protect sensitive messages such as financial data and personal content
by using industry-standard SSL or TLS protocols"
Does that mean there is *no* anti-spam/virus/phishing protection at all
if we opt out of it or is there some base level that we get with the
free version? Does the 2nd item mean without it people cannot do IMAP
(inbound) and SMTP (outbound) over SSL/TLS from their email clients and
if they use AirSync from their smartphones/tablets it is not using SSL/TLS?
I'd love to hear back from some email admins about these answers, and
equally as important, has switching over to Google (or Microsoft Live)
made your life harder or easier?
