E-mail switch slightly delayed
To ensure the best level of service, ITS has delayed until February
7 the implementation of new e-mail and calendaring systems.
The switch from the old system to the new SunOne messaging service
will be made midnight February 7, at which time the e-mail system
will be down for about one hour. After the switch the new system
immediately will begin processing incoming mail. For the first
72 hours, the old e-mail system's queues will be emptied and the
mail in old mailboxes moved, so service may be sporadic.
To learn more, contact the help desk at help
or 368-HELP.
