The mail system will be upgraded. (date yet to be determined). During the transition from old to new, the old system will be shut down. It will take from 5:00pm Friday until 5:00pm Sunday to copy the mail from the old mail store to the new mail store. During the copy process, the new mail system will be available to you at http://www.wou.edu/webmail New incoming mail will be delivered only to the new mail system after Friday at 5:00pm. When the copy is completed, your old mail will be available in the old system and the new system.
If you use a non-web based mail application to access your e-mail, such as Microsoft Outlook, verify that your incoming mail is set to incoming.wou.edu On Friday at 5:00 we will move the pointer for incoming.wou.edu from the old mail system to the new.
Your calendar will also be copied in the migration process. If you have created any mail filters, they will need to be manually re-entered in the new mail system.
We will leave the old mail system up for several weeks. It can be accessed at http://www.wou.edu/oldmail
If you are not using the web-based mail system, give the new system a try. It has some nice Web 2.0 features. In addition, it includes IM.
