I received a number of emails regarding deactivation of certain accounts. Other accounts which are actively used didn't receive any notifications and remained as they were.
But yes, the Google Apps freemium is greatly missed. Over the years I've mounted quite a number of domains onto the free Google Apps simply to have a single email address available on the domain. In normal circumstances these accounts would receive hardly any traffic.
I'm still looking for an alternative email service where I can, in a single account, mount a large amount of domains for the single reason to have any number of email inboxes available for that domain. To be more precise, I'm looking for a service that allows me to mount an unlimited number of domains and charge me for traffic and storage rather per domain and/or inbox. Maybe this includes a reasonable annual flat fee as well (say $50 USD or something).
I created a new Google account @thenewdomain to login and setup, then deleted the free 30-day trial of Google Apps for Business and am left with my 1-account-only Google Apps. I will let you know if/when it gets shut down, but for now it seems to be working...

I'm about to see if it still works, 1.5 years later.
I believe this used to work but I don't think it does anymore.
