Three Cheers for Google and GMail

This week I had the opportunity to help a client transition from one email address to a GMail address. One of the options I encountered said the client could migrate her contacts and mail to the new GMail account. I wasn’t sure this would be accomplished and GMail had a disclaimer about it, but, I opted in for my client.
Within a few minutes most of her contacts were appearing in the list under the GMail account. Soon the email came in clearly labeled as having come from the old email account.

This was the easiest transition of email I have seen in awhile. Congratulations Google, this is great!
