University
to upgrade e-mail service
Next Monday, the University will upgrade the servers that host POP3,
IMAP and Outlook Web Access from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007. The
only noticeable difference on that day will be the logon page for
Outlook Web Access. All other functionality will remain the same until
your mailbox is moved to the new system. Information Technology
Services will be notifying you individually over the next several weeks
as to when your mailbox will be moved.
Highlights of the new system:
- Increased mailbox capacity of 500MB (from 100MB);
- New (x64-bit) hardware and operating system that will
provide higher performance and increased scalability; and,
- Outlook Web Access has been enhanced to look more like the
Outlook client.
