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. Previously, this feature was only available to domains whose administrator had enabled the ‘Enable pre-release features’ checkbox in the Google Apps Control Panel. This feature has now been released to all domains so that checkbox no longer controls this feature.Editions included: Standard, Premier, Education, Team, 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”.For more information: http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2010/08/email-overload-try-priority-inbox.html http://mail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=29809 Get these product update alerts by email Subscribe to the RSS feed of these updates

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.

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
