you can invite people from outside your org to meetings, but yes, it's not a purely public service. Duo and Allo are still out there though.

Only if you have a paid Gsuite account. Those of us grandfathered in to the Gsuite service with their free account don't get access to Meet.

Ah, yes, ye olde "Google Apps for Domains" (boy, there's a catchy product name ...).

I've got three of them still running: two I rarely use, but the other is the family account and it's got a lot of history in the mailbox.

I'm gonna be effed if/when they pull the plug on us greybeards still rolling on that old free tier.

p.s. The new Gmail theme sucks rocks. Anyone have a 411 how to make it look as near to the old style as possible. (tbh, I haven't hunted for an answer, but tacked this on in case anyone reading knows a good blog for that.)

I've got four still running, although 2 are mostly shut down now, I just need to pull the Google Docs. The last two are going to be bigger issues as there is a ton of mail and no good way even for an admin to transfer that mail to a new server.

One being a family account also is even more problematic, they expect Gmail quality web interface and I can't really give that to them.
