Our ISP (Telus) recently decided to get out of the e-mail and web
hosting business.  All e-mail accounts have been transferred (e-mail
addresses and all) to Google.  I believe the appropriate term is
"sold down the river".

I was doing e-mail through a third party long before getting involved
with Telus, so I don't have to worry about it.  It's a few extra
dollars, but IMHO it's money well spent.
