The biggest problem I observed as a student is that sometimes the email solution chosen by the school absolutely sucks. Example: Microsoft Exchange, only accessible through the "simple" web portal interface that's locked down, feature poor, and it's impossible to use IMAP to pull your emails down to another client. That school ended up emailing students' personal email accounts to get enough responses because the school's official email solution was so terrible.
