So last week we had one email account that would not accept email from one of customers. And of course that account happened to belong to the production coordinator/ops manager. Thanks, Google. We know the problem is only linked to that one account because we created another dummy account named Fred which DID accept email from that customer account. So the account of the ops manager is flaky, but you can’t delete and recreate it because you have to wait FIVE days before creating another account with the same name. Argh.

Today I got the report that a sales rep is getting mail on his Blackberry but it’s not showing up on his Outlook Express client. This stuff would be considered bumps on the road except it follows on the heels of the IMAP fiasco of the last two weeks, which freaked everybody out (To summarize: Do not use IMAP with Google Apps. It causes weirdness with Outlook clients).

So we are going to have a meeting about this. Man, nobody likes these types of meetings.
