You can download the application from Google Code, which means any feedback regarding the usability of this tool will come handy for Mac and Google users. There are some considerations made by Google regarding this:

• Pick less than 500 messages to send the first time. Otherwise it will get slow.
• Use a custom label for emails.

The uploader will try to find mail archives in the following locations:

• Apple Mail: ~/Library/Mail
• Eudora: ~/Eudora Folder
• Thunderbird: ~/Library/Thunderbird

But, of course, IE6 is not the only browser that is getting phased out by Google Apps. The only browsers that will be supported are: Internet Explorer 7.0, Firefox 3.0, Google Chrome 4.0, Safari 3.0; and of course any other superior version.

According to Google, one of the main reasons of this new adoption is that any of these older browsers does not include supported version of HTML5 or JavaScript fast processing. The first feature that will be affected: Google Docs and Google Sites Editor, that won’t be supported anymore by March 1, 2010. After that, the time will come for Google Mail and Google Calendar.

Here’s the notification from Google:

Dear Google Apps admin,

In order to continue to improve our products and deliver more sophisticated features and performance, we are harnessing some of the latest improvements in web browser technology. This includes faster JavaScript processing and new standards like HTML5. As a result, over the course of 2010, we will be phasing out support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 as well as other older browsers that are not supported by their own manufacturers.

We plan to begin phasing out support of these older browsers on the Google Docs suite and the Google Sites editor on March 1, 2010. After that point, certain functionality within these applications may have higher latency and may not work correctly in these older browsers. Later in 2010, we will start to phase out support for these browsers for Google Mail and Google Calendar.

Google Apps will continue to support Internet Explorer 7.0 and above, Firefox 3.0 and above, Google Chrome 4.0 and above, and Safari 3.0 and above.

(…)

Thank you for your continued support!

Sincerely,

The Google Apps team

Still this is a great advance for Google, the Google Apps platform had a great impact in users and enterprises; but the Outlook compatibility was one of the most requested features considering the awful performance given by IMAP and the not so convenient POP3 configurations. This plug-in will keep in sync your mail, contacts and calendar with your Microsoft Outlook in a very transparent way.

Here’s a short demo:

Some of the features:

• For e-mail the plug-in uses the Offline Gmail Protocol. Avoiding the unconfortability and low performance from IMAP.
• Free/Busy lookup and Global Address List functionality, which makes it easy to schedule meetings with your colleagues, regardless of whether they use Outlook’s calendar or Google Calendar.
• A simple data migration tool which allows users to easily copy existing data from Exchange or Outlook into Google Apps.
