The migration to our new mail server running Microsoft Exchange 2007, for staff and faculty, has begun. We expect the migration to be fairly seamless for most of our end users and should be completed by the end of business today. If you are running Outlook 2003/2007 when your box is migrated, you'll need to close and reopen the program to continue receiving mail. Other than that, no further configuration should be required for your desktop client.

Your Rockhurst email address will not change during this migration.

The new server will give each user an increased mailbox size, up to 500MB (current limit is 60MB), and an enhanced Outlook Web Access interface. The address for OWA will change, it is now https://mail.rockhurst.edu.

During this change over, no mail, contact, tasks or calendar entries should be lost and messages stored in local archive folders in Outlook will not be changed.

If you receive email through a mobile phone that you've configured to connect to our servers, you'll need to adjust your settings to change the server address to just mail.rockhurst.edu, for more information on setting up mobile phones to check your Rockhurst email, see our Mobile Mail page.
