   and your mail has been or will be migrated along with that of the other

Otherwise, your mail will be migrated from Cornell's old Postoffice

Background:

As you may know, Cornell's email and calendar system is being switched to 
a new Exchange system. This email explains what we in LEPP are doing 
to prepare for this change.

We're scheduled to have our email accounts moved to the new Exchange 
system the nights of March 8th, 9th and 10th. As the time draws closer, 
you'll receive more detailed messages from us about how to prepare.

After our email accounts have been moved to the new Exchange system, we 
will be switching to new email applications -- Outlook for Windows and
Apple Mail for Macintosh. (Linux, Mac and Windows users also have
the option of using Outlook Web Access.)
We are planning to do this during the middle of March.

Having everyone in LEPP using the same email applications will help us 
provide better technical support at a lower cost. Many of us should also 
benefit from the time-saving features in these email applications and the 
more-flexible and secure options for delegation. For an overview of these 
new applications, see 
http://www.cit.cornell.edu/services/guides/facstaff_email/switch/switch-part2.cfm#outlook

We are investigating the possibility of hands-on training workshops 
to help you get started with using Outlook.

Watch for more messages from us about moving to the new Exchange system. 
In the meantime, please let us know if you have questions or concerns by 
sending e'mail to [[mailto:service-lepp@cornell.edu][service-lepp@cornell.edu]]

Thank you.

Selden Ball, 
writing on behalf of
The LEPP Computer Group.
