One of my clients, a lawyer, recently ran into the 25 GB limit on Gmail. To say we were gobsmacked to find out that google doesn't want to keep his business is to understate the case dramatically.
He needs his email archive searchable and in one place. He's quite happy to pay for the storage. What's not acceptable is the cartoonish "workaround" of turning his existing account into an archive account and carrying on with a new account. Especially when he has unused space in google drive. He is not interested in the (apparently) current options of "archiving" incoming and outgoing messages. He wants to put is older message into a (searchable, this is google) archive. He'd be happy to move 98% of his mail to google drive and live with a smaller gmail account. this is, sadly, not available to him. And please don't suggest stripping the attachments from the emails and putting them in the gdrive. We went through that with Eudora, and the most loyal of my clients gave up on that 18 years ago. Local storage/archiving is not an option. This is truly a cloud user, and we can't make it work. If there is a way available, or there is going to be a way available, please let us know. The alternative is what drove us to google in the first place -- managing his own collaboration server. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Apps Domain Information and Management APIs" group.
