New Email System Migration to take Place March 23rd
The UNI migration to Collaboration Suite has been postponed until March 23rd in order to meet the Board of Regents meeting requirements.
UNI will migrate all existing email accounts to a new email system, Collaboration Suite, the weekend of March 23, 2007. Campus email will be unavailable beginning at 5:00 pm Friday, March 23. The new system will be made available as soon as possible but anticipated by the start of business on Monday, March 26. Email received during the conversion will be delivered once the new system is up and running. This new system will provide all UNI faculty, staff, students, and emeritus employees with improved email capabilities, and email quotas will increase for all students.
The current Web-based email options (Mailman & MailSpinner) will be replaced by two new full-featured Web mail clients. Each of the new clients has features that will provide users with functionality more comparable to those found in Thunderbird and Outlook. Those currently using Thunderbird, Outlook or another desktop email client will need to change a couple settings after conversion is complete in order for those clients to continue working.
All email users will be required to create a new password for Collaboration Suite through MyUNIverse after conversion is complete. For more information and status updates please see http://www.uni.edu/its/collab.
