Staff email move to Office 365 scheduled for 23 March

Thursday, 15 March 2018

Staff emails are due to begin migrating over to Office 365 on the evening of Friday 23 March.

Microsoft has resolved the error that prevented our IT team from carrying out the migration earlier this month.

Further details and guidance will be provided closer to the time.

Following the migration, all emails will be stored in Office 365 (on Microsoft servers), instead of University managed servers.

If you use Outlook on Windows and macOS, you will be prompted to restart the application once your email has migrated.

If you use a mobile phone or tablet to access your email, we recommend downloading the Outlook app. Other mail clients, e.g. those using IMAP, will also work with Office 365.

The storage on each user account will be increased to 50GB and there will be improvements to spam filtering.

Office 365 allows for integration between your email and other Office 365 products and services like OneDrive for Business.
