FINAL NOTICE EMAIL JUST BEFORE CONVERSION DIRECT EMAIL
Subject: FINAL NOTICE – Your Email and/or Calendar Changing to Office 365 Email
As previously communicated, your email and/or calendar is being transitioned to the UW Office 365 Email today. Your email and/or calendar will no longer be maintained in Alpine/Deskmailemail system. This is likely the last email you will receive in your old email system. All new emails will be re-directed to the UW Office 365 Email in a few minutes at approximately 5pm today.
The copying process of your old email/calendars to Office 365 Mail has already begun and will be fully complete by <go-live date/time>. If you need to read email over the weekend, you may need to look for the email in Office 365 Email or your old email location (Alpine for many people), depending on when the email was received and the status of the copying of your old email over to Office 365 Email. If you need to send email over the weekend, use the information below to access your Office 365 Email to compose and send new email messages.
