Actually I think the mail api is getting a little bit to good, and developers may implement a google apps from scratch :) So my conspiracy theory is that if the mail api gets production status it makes google apps for business obsolete :P
The fact is many web applications need some sort of confirmation mails, think invoice etcetera. Third party solutions or a own mail server is such a pain or expensive compared to the mail API. So I am not complaining, I just hope google engineers are not putting the brake on it on purpose because no way that the creators of gmail can not make this mail api perfect in every way imaginable :P On Mon, Apr 4, 2016 at 11:28 PM, PK <p...@gae123.com> wrote: > I want to state that I disagree with Jeff.
