The goal of Google Apps is to allow a domain administrator to own your account. I am having a difficult time coming up with a use case where you want an employee to be able to grant their account upon it becoming "inactive" to someone else: if the employee dies or leaves for some long period, the domain administrator should simply reclaim the account (and the domain administrator's password should itself not be something you are reliant on a feature like this to grant access to: it should be information known to the company, similar to bank account details).

(Or is the complaint just that the distinction between "Google Apps Account" and "Google Account" isn't sufficiently clear? If so, I agree: they should have drastically different branding to make the difference more understandable. As it stands, I know people who seem to be trying to use Google Apps accounts as their personal account, which leads to situations where changing your e-mail hosting provider effectively means you lose access to your Google services and data. Even worse are employees/students who store personal data to their managed accounts :(.)

Try having 4 emails from clients that insist you use their domain email (hosted on GApps) and switching to them or your personal email to check out your google analytics.

It's a total and absolute -sham-. I still don't understand how they can screw up such basic functionality. Hell, even YouTube has -basic things- completely wrong. For example, I leave a comment on a video. I want to see my comment three months down the line and see if I have any replies and what score it has. I can't find that - anywhere. Where can I easily find my comments? Christ.

Anyone know if this is possible within the Google Apps console? Or is it locked out from us.
