In March 2012 CUIT began rolling out the service first to a handful of pilot users, then in several phases (Phase one, early April 2012, was 1,000 undergraduates) with a goal to migrate the entire user population to LionMail by the end of 2012.
Although LionMail did not initially have storage limits, Google, being the bait and switch cheapskates that they are, announced in January 2022 the end of free unlimited storage for their higher education clients. As of 2024, CUIT updated its quota allocations to 100GB for current students, faculty, staff, and retirees, and 5GB for alumni. Although some alumni expressed frustration on Reddit's Columbia subreddit page, other universities reneged on their email for life policies and promises in the wake of Google's changes and booted their alumni into the abyss, so kudos to CUIT for not being daft.
