Reminder: staff email move to Office 365 scheduled for 23 March

Friday, 23 March 2018

Don’t forget that staff emails will begin migrating over to Office 365 on the evening of Friday 23 March.

IT provided staff with additional information relating to the move in an email on Wednesday 21 March. If you have any queries, please contact the IT Service Desk.

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.

Beware of scam emails

We reported earlier this week that scam emails had been received by some colleagues, pretending to be associated with the migration.  

Please take care if you receive an email asking you to take action before the migration begins (i.e. verifying an account, clicking on a link, or providing username and password details). These requests are not legitimate – IT will not ask you to take any action before the migration, so please do not click on any links or supply any information to these requests.

If you have any queries or concerns, please contact the IT Service Desk.
