BCS/CVS migration to Office 365

The process for migrating a BCS/CVS e-mail account to O365 will happen as follows.

At a predetermined day and time, several things will happen simultaneously:

  • - logins to your old BCS/CVS account will be disabled.

    - University IT will create your account in O365...the address will be "<your_netID>@ur.rochester.edu".

    - University IT will begin the process of migrating all of your e-mail currently residing on our mail server to your new O365 account. - Your old addresses ("@mail.bcs/cvs" and "@bcs/cvs") will start autoforwarding newly received e-mail to your O365 account.

Note that the process of migrating your data to O365 may take a considerable amount of time...more than a day for the larger IMAP users.

Once this process begins, you now need to modify your e-mail client(s) so you can start using O365. This means adding the O365 account to each client.
