The new Google Sheets is now the default option

Users may opt-out of this experience through the settings menu in Sheets.

Your emails are even more secure with 100% encrypted HTTPS connections

/in

Starting today, Gmail will always use an encrypted HTTPS connection when you check or send email. Gmail has supported HTTPS since the day it launched, and in 2010 we made HTTPS the default. Today’s change means that no one can listen in on your messages as they go back and forth between you and Gmail’s servers—no matter if you’re using public WiFi or logging in from your computer, phone or tablet.

In addition, every single email message you send or receive—100% of them—is encrypted while moving internally. This ensures that your messages are safe not only when they move between you and Gmail’s servers, but also as they move between Google’s data centers.

Bring a little something extra to Docs and Sheets with add-ons

/in

Today we’re launching add-ons—new tools created by developer partners that give you even more features in your documents and spreadsheets. To browse through add-ons for Docs and Sheets, select Get add-ons in the Add-ons menu of any open document or spreadsheet. Once you install an add-on it will become available across all of your documents or spreadsheets and you can start using it right away. Note that add-ons for spreadsheets are only available in the new Google Sheets.

Google Apps admins must enable add-ons through Drive settings in the Admin console. Users will always see the Add-ons menu and can browse them but will not be able to install them if the feature isn’t enabled by the admin.

Ending support for the Google Apps Connector for BlackBerry Enterprise Server

/in

Google Apps Connector for BlackBerry Enterprise Server allows BlackBerry 7 OS and older devices to connect to Google Apps through the BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES). However, .BlackBerry no longer supports the version of BES that the Connector needs The latest BlackBerry devices also do not require a BES. As a result, we’re ending support for the Google Apps Connector for BlackBerry Enterprise Server on March 5, 2015.

Who does this affect?
This will affect any Google Apps user with a BlackBerry OS 7 or older device connecting to Google Apps with a BlackBerry Enterprise Server version 5.0.3.

What are my options?
Android and iOS
Android and iOS devices have native apps that support Google Apps.

BlackBerry 10 OS
If you update your device to BlackBerry 10 OS, you can connect to Google Apps using established sync protocols like Google Sync or IMAP / CalDAV / CardDAV.

BlackBerry 7 OS and older devices
If you’d like to continue connecting to Google Apps with BlackBerry 7 OS and older devices after March 2015, you can access mail.google.com and calendar.google.com from your browser.

When will this take effect?
On March 5, 2015, we will end support and turn down the underlying services used by the Google Apps Connector for BlackBerry Enterprise Server.

Additional admin controls for Hangouts

/in

In November we announced a suite of new admin features in Hangouts. Today, we are announcing a few more features that make Hangouts work better for businesses, schools and governments.

Administrator setting to warn users when chatting out of the domain
Admins can now enable a setting that will show users a warning that they are chatting with someone outside of their own domain. When warnings are enabled for users chatting outside of their domain, group chat conversations will be split when the first person from outside the domain is added to the discussion. This will prevent external users from seeing previous internal discussions.

Note that these features are only available in the desktop UI. We are working on adding them to the Hangouts mobile apps soon.

  2. Scroll down, and then select Next.
  3. Select Internet Service Provider Email (POP/IMAP), and then select Next.

  6. Select Next.

Find your POP and IMAP server settings

If you’re connecting to your Office 365 email, the server name for IMAP and POP is outlook.office365.com and the server name for SMTP is smtp.office365.com. These are your settings if you are using the latest version of Office 365.

If you’re not connecting to Office 365 email, or if you aren’t sure if you are using the latest version of Office 365, do the following to look up your settings.

  1. Sign in to your account using Outlook Web App. For help signing in, see Sign in to Outlook Web App.
  2. In Outlook Web App, on the toolbar, select Settings  > Options > Account > My account > Settings for POP and IMAP access.

Set up a BlackBerry® Cloud Services account on a BlackBerry®

If you are an Office 365 user and your company is using BlackBerry® Business Cloud Services, you can use the service for integrated email, calendaring, and contact services with Microsoft Exchange Online.

If you are not an Office 365 user, but have a mailbox on an Exchange server that is using BlackBerry® Enterprise Server and BlackBerry® Enterprise Server Express, you will also be able to use the service for integrated email, calendaring, and contacts with Microsoft Exchange Online.

After your administrator has set up your BlackBerry® device, you can manage the settings on your phone yourself. To manage your BlackBerry® smartphone, go to the BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager.

What else do I need to know?

  • The POP, IMAP, and SMTP server names for Office 365 users shown earlier in this article applies to accounts that are on the latest version of Office 365 (sometimes referred to as Office 365 after the service upgrade). If your account is not on the latest version of Office 365 (sometimes referred to as Office 365 pre-upgrade), you need to look up your own settings. Check out Am I using Office 365 after the service upgrade? to determine if your account is on the latest version of Office 365.
  • If you see Not available under POP setting, IMAP setting, and SMTP setting, you may need to contact the person that manages you email account to determine your Exchange ActiveSync server name.
  • If your email account is the type that requires registration, you must register it the first time you sign in to Outlook Web App. Connecting to your email account through a mobile phone will fail if you haven’t registered your account through Outlook Web App. After you sign in to your account, sign out. Then try to connect using your mobile phone. For more information about how to sign in to your account using Outlook Web App, see Sign in to Outlook Web App.
  • If you connect to your account using a POP or IMAP connection, you will only be able to use and synchronize your email using a wireless connection. For information about how to synchronize the contacts and calendar between your BlackBerry® and your account using a wired connection, see BlackBerry® Desktop Software at the BlackBerry® Web site.
  • BlackBerry® Business Cloud Services Microsoft Office 365 is a feature that provides enhanced features for BlackBerry® device users with Office 365 accounts. Email administrators may visit BlackBerry® Business Cloud Services for Microsoft Office 365 to learn more about this service.
