Saturday, March 31st (7:00AM - 1:00PM)

Your mailboxes will be offline for several hours during the Migration window. If you are try to access your mailbox during this time, you will receive a message that your mailbox is inaccessible.

The Office 365 Exchange servers always receive mail in an incoming queue before delivering mail to the appropriate mailbox. At the point when your mailbox is unavailable during its migration, the server will simply hold your incoming email in this queue until your mailbox becomes available once again. Once your mailbox becomes available, your incoming queued mail will be delivered to that mailbox.

We will provide migration updates on the Migration Home Page.

Yes. ALL desktop, laptop, and mobile device email clients must be reconfigured with a NEW profile, after the migration to reconnect with your mailbox.

E-mail profiles are what Outlook (or other client) uses to remember which e-mail accounts you use and where the data for each account is stored. Each profile provides Outlook with the following information:

• • What account information to use: This information includes the user name, display name, e-mail server name, and Internet service provider (ISP) account password.

  • Where the e-mail data is delivered and stored: In Outlook, data is delivered and stored either on the e-mail server or a in .pst file on your computer. This data includes rules, messages, contacts, calendars, notes, tasks, journals, Search Folders, and other settings.

Outlook e-mail profiles are stored in the Windows registry. When Outlook starts, it retrieves the profile information from the registry.
