What is the relationship between Gmail and Google Apps for Education?
Gmail is Google’s free Webmail. Google Apps for Education is a suite of Google applications (e-mail, calendar, docs) that have been combined for ease of use. Google Apps includes a version of Gmail, but it is not quite identical to regular Gmail. To reduce confusion about the two products, the Google Apps version is called Google Apps Email. To increase confusion, many of the Help materials provided for Google Apps are borrowed from Gmail’s documentation, so you may see the names used interchangeably.
