1329811 2013-02-25 05:15:00 Hey all,

Recently setup google apps for someone as a trial. They imported their mail and everything and all was well. However the trial expired and we can no longer log in to the email. They decided just to use normal gmail, the perks of business not justifying the cost. So I thought I would import all the mail and contacts into a normal gmail account BUT it seems the only way it will let me do this is pay the US$5 to liven the account up again. If I have to, I'll pay it but it seems very dumb that google would do this.

Have I just missed something or is this how google plays now?

1329813 2013-02-25 05:47:00 So freeloaders (like me :)) can continue using it for free, but users who have been paying, but can no longer justify the cost are not allowed to drop back to the free version. That doesn't make a lot of sense. Greven (91)

1329815 2013-02-25 07:58:00 Its not circular logic, more like spiral logic. The bottom end of the spiral drips dosh. PPp (9511)
1329816 2013-02-25 18:48:00 So ill take that as a no? Not something I expected from Google. hueybot3000 (3646)
1329817 2013-02-25 21:10:00 What about exporting them say to Google Docs/Drive to import. But may need to find/build a script from Google App scripts. (developers.google.com) Or try their Apps Contact Sync. (www.google.com 37389)The other way, possibly, is to implement their Contacts AP1. (developers.google.com) kahawai chaser (3545)
1329818 2013-02-25 21:14:00 Can you get into the admin page? It will be something like google.com

Rresetting the Admin password, then clicking the 'now manage your account' link in the email you receive may be another way to access it?

1329819 2013-02-26 05:01:00 Can access admin account but pretty much all the useful email related options give a "admin has not activated this feature" message hueybot3000 (3646)
