Oh, I should have reviewed some of the earlier responses on this thread, as there are already some suggestions there…

I have such an account (Business) but I don’t think it makes a difference. Google treats both free (Gmail etc) and professional (Google Apps) account similarly in most respects aside of quotas. It is not even possible to have a customised login screen for Google Apps any more, e.g. with the company logo.
Do you have any information suggesting that Google Apps can sync with Outlook and how? I don’t use Outlook myself, but others in the company domain do.

Yes. See here (so it seems to be a way to try to push “free” users to become paying users):
“Google Apps for Business, Education, and Government customers can use Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook.”
