Ask HN: G Suite Legacy yet to receive notification of change

6 points by isUserAMonkey ↗ HN
Long term HN lurker and long time G Suite Legacy user. I still haven't received comms from Google on the deprecation of G Suite legacy.

Is anyone else in this same situation on waiting to here exact confirmation from Google?

I was in the UK at the time, around 2007/2008 when I signed up, not sure if this matters, though I did see some others users mention the same thing.

I'm in the UK too and signed up about the same time as you. Also, nothing from Google.

Yep. Read the articles, it's very hard to see how it doesn't apply to me, still haven't been told directly. Oz.

Yeah super annoying, kinda seems our US friends might have been prioritised first for communication. Also another "busy work" job on my todo list that I'd rather not do.

What's your approach? Just go ahead and make the move away (or pay)?

Field testing iredmail on a self hosted FreeBSD. Will use an SMTP relay if I get rbl'd for low traffic. Iredmail does dkim and Dane and dmarc. No drive, photo album. Can find freebsd alternates, just not packaged. Good calendar and two good web email choices, amavis, spam assassin. It's a good package. Works on Linux and docker,and BSD jails. Bind9.16 for dns. Let's encrypt wildcard certs, nginx.

Icloud+ can do a single domain for $2 per user per month. Even for non apple users.

O365 family edition $128 can do it if you use godaddy, good amount of storage and 6 family members. Also fine for non windows people

Cloudflare have an email redirector on test, invite only and I haven't been invited.

As a Google1 subscriber I'm paying for extra storage on a normal Gmail, I could roll that cost into $6 per user per month but I'd have to prune users and do more aliases instead (I ran about 9 accounts on the domain to handle billing and shared music &c)

Fastmail is good. I have pobox.com too, same company now.

I finally got the email from Google this week stating the change. Thanks for the extra info, still deciding what I will do.

I’m in the same situation. Signed up in the UK and have got no email from Google about it yet.

I am in the same situation. Singed up in South east asia and haven't received the notification. It is confusing.
