Why is Cornell moving student email to Cmail and Umail?

The primary reason is to provide students with a broader and better set of services than Cornell’s budget allows. For example, Cmail (Google Apps) and Umail (Microsoft Live) provide each student with much more online storage space — 7.3 GB on Google and 10 GB on Microsoft — more than 20 times the 300 MB now provided by Cornell. Cornell Information Technologies has been charged with bringing these improved communication and collaboration tools to the campus community.
