My Google Business 30 days trial has expired today. I am wondering whether my saved mails in my mail box won't be deleted after I will downgrade from Google Business to Google Apps? if my mails are going to be deleted i would like to know if there is a way to save them before i cancel my Google Business account?
messages will not be deleted but if users are over the Free Editions 10gb quota, they'll be unable to send/receive mail after the downgrade.
Confirm your users are under quota and you should be fine.
I have to say that this issue wasn't described clearly in the Google's papers i have read on this subject.
Anyway I can say that after the downgrade my mails were keep faithfully and none of my data was deleted. :)

We use Google Pub/Sub service for being notified when our users receive emails on their Gmail accounts.
We use the Ruby Gmail client (https://googleapis.dev/ruby/google-api-client/latest/Google/Apis/GmailV1/GmailService.html) for watching the Gmail accounts of our user (connected with OAuth authorisation). We expose an endpoint in our Rails app for getting the posted notifications from Google.
It has worked for years without any problem for more than 1000 Gmail accounts. Since two weeks ago, we stopped receiving notifications for some accounts (I would say around 20).
Each account is re-watched once a day (with stop_user() and then watch_user()), so it's not a problem of expired subscription.
Once a notification is not received for an account when there is a new mail, we never receive a notification anymore until it's re-watched. Then, it works for several minutes/hours and then it's broken again. It always happens for the same accounts.
The quotas page on GCP shows that there is not quotas limit exceeded.
I don't know if it's directly related to the Pub/Sub service or if it's a Gmail issue...
Does someone already experienced the same issue ? How can it be investigated / fixed ?
Thank you in advance for your help !

What is the correct way to setup mail notifications from your web app in the cloud era? Previously I always had some SMTP server, which I could use for that purpose, but this time my company mail is hosted and there is a limit of 500 mails per day sent from certain address in this system, so with rather high chances I can hit that limit. My first thought was to use services like sendpulse or mailchimp, but it seems that all these services are built having mass marketing campaigns in mind and I'm concerned about security in case of sensitive emails, like password restore or details about orders. I spent several hours searching for solution in the web, but did not find anything reasonable.
Ideally the service I'm looking for would guarantee, that content of my messages would never be stored or shown to anyone, besides email this service might also be able to send SMS (for password restore case) and have integration with messengers.
Hope you are doing great days.
I am trying to set up payment by using stripe connect. I followed the tutorial 'https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-accounts' and finished everything. (Admin account is Europe based)
But when I test my onboarding process, I can't create a European account(step 2 of above documentation). I am supposed to be a US based user and I am required to input US phone number, social digits and etc.
Of course I can pass this process with test methods(phone num: 000 000 0000). But when I pass with test data, I am registered as a United States based account in admin's connect account. Thus I can't transfer money from admin to registered account with 'stripe transfer api'. Error is occurred because admin and connected account are not from same region.
Is there anyone who can help me with this problem?
I tried to explain what my problem is but not sure I did it exactly. I will be happy if you contact me. Please feel free to ask me if you can't get what my problem is.
Many thanks.
I found that stripe express account is only available in U.S.(Mr.Karllekko hinted me). I contacted with stripe support team and they say that Express account is not available in Germany. So I decided to implement current business logic with Custom account.
Thank you guys who are interested in my question. And thanks again, Karllekko.
I need help automating mass emails I'm sending daily.
I'm trying to send out automated mass emails through a Gmail account (My Business uses Google Apps). I built a Java program that allows me to enter my credentials (gmail username & password), Subject Line, Email List, and enter is a body template. The program then sends out emails one at a time to each of the contacts which are in a comma delimited list. This isn't spam as I'm getting the users to submit their email address.
I got this Mail Delivery Message today: "Technical details of permanent failure: Message rejected." I read that Google will only allow a maximum of 100 recipients to any message through its smtp gateway - and there's a maximum of 500 messages in any 24 hr period.
I need a new strategy. How do I build a program to automate sending of ~100-200 emails a day? Do I need to be buying IP's, SMTP Servers, write a new PHP application? I need a place to start because this is out of my scope.
Gmail is not designed for email marketing as you have seen. In the past I have used a Google App Engine account for sending tens to hundreds of thousands of emails (because that was where the domain was managed), but that can be a pain to manage.
You could consider using a service that specializes in email marketing. I have heard good things about Campaign Monitor and MailChimp. Plus MailChimp can integrate into Google Apps.
We use www.authsmtp.com but I was looking at switching to Google when we switch to Google Apps in the near future. I'll have to drill in a bit more. IN the meantime, give authsmtp a try.
Google specifically rejects this type of behavior/use of their system. https://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=69585
I would suggest trying a system that is built for this type of activity such as MailChimp or Aweber.
We are in transition to move on to Google Apps. I and also my coworkers have been using Gmail for quite some time now. We imported email our company mail accounts in our Gmail and things work smoothly.
I created standard account for Google Apps for Business to give it a try before migrating to Premier Edition. But there are couple of thing bothering me. They did such a good work with classic Gmail. Especially with contact management and GUI is also very comfortable to work with. But in Google Apps for Business Gmail frontend is like Gmail 2 years ago. Is there any good reason for this? Will this stay this way? Because its really unorthodox to have classic Gmail for free with all these features and when you pay you are transported back to the past. I haven't tried Premier Edition but I guess it has the same user interface. Do any of you have insight in this topic?
Let me do some question necromancy. Google Apps Gmail is no longer behind "regular" Gmail.
BTW It has been behind with many other services, e.g. we just recently got Google+. But Google is unifying their architecture and the gap is shrinking.
