Maybe this:
http://www.alaskacommunications.com/Online-Care/Support-Center/FAQs/About-AlaskaMail-Our-upgraded-Email-Service.aspx

See the bit about the new email system being powered by google.
So I wonder if they're outsourcing their email system to google. Lots
of new features plus google will now get to cruise your acsalaska.net
inbox. Sigh.

I just stumbled across that page yesterday. They haven't sent me any
notices about it but I wonder if in the near future they'll make
everybody roll off the old POP system and become a rebranded google slave...
