Important Notice for Faculty and Staff re: Email Outages This Weekend, October 9-11

As we prepare for this weekend's migration of student email to Gmail, we want to remind all Faculty and Staff of the following:

• At 7pm on Saturday, October 9th the delivery of all messages "coming to" or "leaving from" the University will be stopped and queued up until all the migration work is completed. This means that if you inspect your email INBOX during the migration process, you will only see messages delivered as of 7pm Saturday. This will ensure that there will be no loss of email for the community during the migration of student mail to Gmail.
• The flow of email into and out of the University will resume after student migration is complete at about 5am Monday, October 11th. Depending upon the number of messages queued up during this period it may take several hours for the complete delivery of all email.
• Please be aware that there is distinct possibility that we may restore the flow of email prior to the 5am Monday time, perhaps as early as Sunday morning.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the University Help Desk:

(718) 817-3999 or via e-mail via: helpdesk@fordham.edu
