Over the next several weeks we will be migrating your email accounts from an on-premise hosted Exchange system to the new Office365. Our email system has grown exponentially over the years to the point where it will be best to leverage a secure hosted Exchange environment.
Once your user account is migrated to Office365, your end-user experience with Outlook (web and client) will be the exact same as what you are already used to. A large majority of our initial testing was to be sure the migration is as painless as possible for you.
If your mailbox has been migrated, please read the DA Office 365 Email Migration Guide for more information.
Why Office365?
Office365 is free to the school which reduces costs while increasing security, and reliability.
