I was only referring to Gmail not other webmail interfaces, which I have found quicker and more responsive than Outlook. Outlook is a slugish monster and prone to crashing, always has been and is well known for it.
You cannot really compare your Smartermail Server to Google Apps, that is like comparing a word processor App to Microsoft Office or a 1 bed apartment to a 5 bed house. You should go and take a look at what Google Apps actually is, as you are clearly under the impression is is just basic email, which is so not the case. For what you get, $5 per user is incredibly cheap. Clearly it is not suitable for you or your client who is obviously very low budget, but you should at least research the facts before making invalid judgements or comparisons, you may find other clients for which this is suitable, which would be a potential lost sale if you don't know the facts.
