BCS/CVS migration to Office 365
Why are we migrating?
Per a directive from University administration, all e-mail users must migrate to the Microsoft Office365 cloud-based e-mail environment. We have no choice in the matter.
When will my account be migrated?
Within the next few months. Users will initially be allowed to pick the day/time for their migration...those who do not specify a day/time will eventually have their migrations scheduled by Chris.
What happens the day of my migration?
The process for migrating a BCS/CVS e-mail account to O365 is quite similar to the process we went through when we migrated to the Axigen system. At the 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 automatically forwarding 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.)
Do I need to change my e-mail clients to use Office365?
Yes. Once the migration process begins, you can add your O365 account to your e-mail client(s) and start using your new account.
Instructions for adding an O365 account to Thunderbird/iPhone/K-9Mail using the IMAP protocol are here: O365Imap
Instructions for adding an O365 account to Thunderbird using the POP protocol are here: O365Pop
Once the migration is over, what will things look like?
The end result of this migration is:
- The e-mail account you will use from then on is your O365 account (<your_netID>@ur.rochester.edu)
- E-mail being sent to your O365 account will be filtered through UR's ProofPoint antispam/virus system before being delivered to your O365 account
- E-mail being sent to your old BCS/CVS addresses will continue to be filtered by our Barracuda antispam/virus system before being automatically forwarded to your O365 account
- the webmail interface you use to access your O365 account is the Outlook Web Access interface: http://owa.ur.rochester.edu/
- departmental mailing lists will still originate from the BCS/CVS e-mail domains...their addresses are NOT changing
