Organizational Email Migration

What We Need from You

Your organization will be migrating email platforms (service providers) within the next 4-6 weeks. This will enable more features, additional mailbox storage, and other features that will be announced at a later time. In order for this migration to proceed smoothly, we will need your help. The process of this migration can be found on the right side of this page (or below on mobile devices).

The first step will be for you to submit a migration form. This form will ask you for information that is required to setup the new account. Some of the information may feel personal (ex. mobile phone number, email address), but it will enable us to best complete the process and allow for additional functionality for you. We ask you to fill it out completely and accurately, so we can make the process as seamless as possible.

Step 1:

Fill Out Your Migration Form

Once you have filled out this form, we ask you to periodically check back on this page for updates. We will update it as we progress through the process, and will post times and locations for obtaining in-person help migrating your devices.
