A new version of this tool is available for download and will be auto-updated in the next few weeks. The following new features are now available: - Support for Microsoft Outlook® 2010 Google Apps Sync now supports Microsoft Outlook® 2010—both 32-bit and 64-bit editions. Here are a few things to note about using Outlook 2010: - Administrators: If you're pushing the upgrade to users via an MSI file, note that there's a separate MSI installation file for the 64-bit edition of Outlook, so be sure to download the correct file for your users. See the installation instructions at Administrator setup for Google Apps Sync . - Only MSI-based editions of Outlook 2010 are supported, not Click-to-Run editions. If you've already installed a Click-to-Run edition, you can follow these instructions from Microsoft to switch to using an MSI-based Office edition . - Using free/busy sync with Outlook 2010 requires installing this free/busy hotfix package from Microsoft. - If you're running a 32-bit version of Outlook on a 64-bit version of Windows, and you need to configure Google Apps Sync via your Windows registry, be sure to create and modify keys in the correct location for 32 bit applications. For details, see the instructions on using the Windows registry at Configure limits and options via the registry . - Rich contact data available in the Global Address List. Microsoft Outlook® users can now see available data from all fields supported by the dynamic Global Address List (not just the name, email address, and one phone number as in previous releases). Newly supported global address fields include street address information, title, company, department, multiple phone numbers, and much more. Check out the complete list of supported fields . - Enhanced support for custom From addresses. When sending a message in Outlook from a custom From address created in Gmail: Your message no longer appears for recipients as "sent on behalf of your_primary_Google_Apps_address" as it has in past releases. Instead, the message lists only the custom From address as the sender. When you reply to an email that's sent to one of your custom From addresses, Outlook automatically enters that address in your reply's From field. Making a custom address your default sending address in Gmail causes you send from that address by default in Outlook, too (it's the address you send from if you leave the From field blank).Editions included: Premier, Education Edition and Google Apps for GovernmentLanguages included: US EnglishHow to access what's new: Download Page For more information: http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=148484 Get these product update alerts by email Subscribe to the RSS feed of these updates

Gmail now offers users the ability to switch between conversation view and the traditional message-based unthreaded view. When a user switches to unthreaded view, messages are no longer grouped together into a conversation, and each message is shown as a separate entry in the inbox. The inbox is still sorted in reverse chronological order.Editions included: Standard, Premier, Education, Partner Edition and Google Apps for GovernmentLanguages included: All languages supported by GmailHow to access what's new: This feature is only available to domains whose administrator has enabled the ‘enable pre-release features’ checkbox in the Control Panel. In Gmail ‘Settings’, go to the new ‘Conversation View’ section, select to have that view on or off and click ‘Save changes’. Note: The mobile web-based view of Gmail will still be threaded, as will the Gmail Mobile Client app. However, if you are using a Blackberry, Windows Mobile, iPhone, or Android device, you can access Gmail unthreaded in the native mail clients of those devices using Google’s sync tools.For more information: http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/09/threaded-email-or-not-now-its-your.html Get these product update alerts by email Subscribe to the RSS feed of these updates

Up to now, Google Apps administrators had to sign requests for calls to Google Apps APIs using their username and password (this is called ClientLogin Authorization). From today, Google Apps now supports OAuth authorization on Google Apps APIs. There are several advantages to using OAuth instead of the username/password model: - OAuth is more secure: OAuth tokens can be scoped and set to expire by a certain date, making them more secure than using the ClientLogin mechanism. - OAuth is customizable: Using OAuth, administrators can create tokens that scripts may only use to access data of a particular scope when calling Google Apps APIs. For instance, a token set to call the Email Migration API would not be able to use login credentials to access the Google Apps Provisioning API. - OAuth is an open standard: OAuth is an open source standard, making it a familiar choice for developers to work with. The Google Apps APIs that support the OAuth signing mechanism are: 1. Provisioning API 2. Email Migration AP I 3. Admin Settings API 4. Calendar Resource API 5. Email Settings API 6. Audit API Editions included: Premier, Education Edition and Google Apps for GovernmentLanguages included: US English How to access what's new: Google Apps APIs For more information: http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/09/new-oauth-support-for-google-apps-apis.html Get these product update alerts by email Subscribe to the RSS feed of these updates

A new version of the Gmail app is now available in the Android Market. This means the app is no longer tied to Android version releases anymore.

Two-step verification is now available for Google Apps. When enabled by an administrator, it requires two means of identification to sign in to a Google Apps account. A mobile phone is the main requirement to use the second form of identification. It doesn’t require any special tokens or devices. After entering a password, a verification code is sent to the user’s mobile phone via SMS, voice calls, or generated on an application they can install on their Android, BlackBerry or iPhone device. This makes it much more likely that it is the user accessing the data: even if someone has stolen the password, they'll need more than that to access the account. Users can also indicate when they're using a computer they trust and don't want to be asked for a verification code from that machine in the future.Editions included: Premier, Education Edition and Google Apps for GovernmentLanguages included: US English Only (Next Generation Control Panel)How to access what's new: - Google Apps Administrators can enable this option in the control panel in the 'Advanced Tools' section by checking the box 'Allow users to turn on two-factor authentication'. Users still have to opt-in to use this feature and it is not possible to make this mandatory for all users. To see this new option, your control panel must be using the ‘Next Generation’ version. - Once your users manually enroll in two-step verification, they may need to use access codes in addition to their verification codes. For installed applications that don’t have a two-step verification field, your users will need to enter an access code once per device or application in place of their regular password to access their Google Account. Common devices and applications that require access codes are: Gmail and Google Calendar on Android-based phones, ActiveSync for Windows Mobile and iPhone, and IMAP clients such as Thunderbird. - At any time, administrators can un-enroll users from two factor verification in the control panel, either through the checkbox to allow it or in the user’s individual settings. - Two-step verification can’t be used for accounts using a SAML single sign-on service (SSO).

In May we announced details about changes to the Google Apps accounts infrastructure that would allow access to other Google services beyond the core suite of messaging and collaboration apps. This change will let users access many new services such as Blogger, Reader, Google Voice and calling-in-Gmail (US only), Picasa Web Albums, AdWords and iGoogle from their Google Apps accounts. The ability to opt in to the new infrastructure for Google Apps is now open for early adopters who meet the early adopter eligibility criteria and is currently being rolled out over the next few days. Early adopters won’t see the following functionality before the new infrastructure is feature-complete: - Administrators do not yet have the ability to turn off access to any of these additional services as they can today for applications in the core suite. - A few applications are not compatible with the new infrastructure at this time including Google Health, PowerMeter, YouTube, Web History, Buzz and Profiles.Editions included: Standard, Premier and Education EditionsLanguages included: US English OnlyHow to access what's new: In order to see the new option in the control panel to become an early adopter, your domain must meet the eligibility criteria: - Your organization needs to be using the U.S. English version of the Google Apps control panel, and all of your users must have their language set to English. - Your organization must not be using SAML for single sign-on. - Your organization must not have users with conflicting accounts that access Google advertising products or Google Voice. - Your organization must be using Google Apps Standard Edition, Premier Edition, or Education Edition. - The new infrastructure is not yet available in all countries. Note: - Additional applications beyond the core suite are not covered by Google Enterprise support or the 99.9% uptime guarantee. However, many services have self-service online help resources , and a subset (such as AdWords) offer enhanced support options. - A small fraction of Google Apps users have created personal Google Accounts based on their organization’s Google Apps email addresses. Users in this situation will need to rename these “conflicting accounts ” during the transition process, and we’ll help these users make the necessary changes.For more information: http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/09/early-adopters-transition-to-new.html Help Center: New Infrastructure for Google Apps accounts Get these product update alerts by email Subscribe to the RSS feed of these updates

Priority Inbox (Beta) is a new view of your inbox that automatically helps you focus on your most important messages. Priority Inbox splits your inbox into three sections: “Important and unread,” “Starred,” and “Everything else”. Messages are automatically categorized as they arrive in your inbox. Gmail uses a variety of signals to predict which messages are important, including the people you email most and which messages you open and reply to (these are likely more important than the ones you skip over). You can improve the ranking in Priority Inbox by clicking the plus or minus buttons at the top of the inbox to mark conversations as important or not important. You can choose to show different types of messages in each section, to set maximum sizes for each section, and to hide or add a section altogether. You can customize your sections from the Priority Inbox tab under Gmail Settings or right from the inline menus dropdown arrow.Editions included: Standard, Premier, Education, Partner Edition and Google Apps for GovernmentLanguages included: All languages supported by Gmail How to access what's new: - Users can manually opt-in to this new feature by clicking on the "New! Priority Inbox" link in the top right corner. - Users can return to the normal view at any time by clicking on “Inbox” or by disabling Priority Inbox in “Settings”. - Priority Inbox is not fully available in Gmail for mobile. There is, however, an “Important” label on the mobile web app and in IMAP where you will find your important messages if you have chosen to show Priority Inbox. - If you only access your Gmail account through POP or IMAP, Priority Inbox won’t be fully available. If you select “Show Priority Inbox” from Gmail Settings in the web interface, you will see an “Important” label which contains your important messages. Note: This feature is being rolled out gradually this week to Google Apps domains and only to domains whose administrator has enabled the ‘Enable pre-release features’ checkbox in the Google Apps Control Panel under ‘Domain settings’.
