Any company with that many employees is not going to be using Gmail in the first place.

Why do you say that? We have about 2-3k and use Google Apps and it's a great fit. Just curious what you think would make it not a good fit if/when we start to approach 10k?

Many schools use gmail and have well over 10k students. Northeastern for example uses gmail and has over 15000 undergrads.

  I wish my school would use Gmail. Then we might be able to actually do things with our email :\

    I agree. My school (UMass Boston) went with Windows Live for students. Usually, I would commend outsourcing this sort of thing (especially at the crossroads of government and academia), but now I can get a list of every student's email by just clicking address book. It's a joke. Staff/faculty email is managed locally with Exchange 2003.

  And you clearly need lessons in civility. It just never occurred to me that a company of > 10K employees would use it. I had never really thought that out.

      Someone not doing their homework doesn't give you a license to be a jerk.

        um, this is the internet..yes it does. additionally, you were clearly digging at gmail/google as an enterprise email solution...so that's ok, but digging at you for digging at them isn't? since when is being a hypocrite civil? also, does your mommy still tuck you in at night?

        I've only made one comment in this thread, and it didn't contain any of those things.
