outsourcing of mail but thus far, it hasn't happened. I haven't seen
Google Aps myself yet, so can't speak as to its accessibility; However the
ability of screen readers to handle ajax applications is still in its
infancy, so I think the worries are definitely real. Do all these
third party apps offer pop access? If so, then at least there
will be that to fall back on.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Our campus is looking at out-sourcing our student email. So I have a couple
of questions.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Has your campus gone to a product like Google apps or something equivalent?
If you have, what?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The more important question is are there concerns with accessibility of
these products?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
