WHAT'S NEXT/ FAQ

Migration: What to Expect
 What to expect with Migration
 When is the migration happening?

Saturday, March 31st (7:00AM - 1:00PM)

 Your mailbox will be briefly unavailable while it is in transit

Your mailboxes will be offline for several hours during the Migration window. If you are try to access your mailbox during this time, you will receive a message that your mailbox is inaccessible.

 New incoming email will be held in a queue while your mailbox is moved and will be delivered to your mailbox once its migration complete

The Office 365 Exchange servers always receive mail in an incoming queue before delivering mail to the appropriate mailbox. At the point when your mailbox is unavailable during its migration, the server will simply hold your incoming email in this queue until your mailbox becomes available once again. Once your mailbox becomes available, your incoming queued mail will be delivered to that mailbox.
