[Plantsci] new email system for the university

[Marquez, Mario A - (marquezm)]

University email and calendaring services are moving to the cloud-based Microsoft Office 365 in spring 2017, bringing a number of new features:

  *   larger mailboxes (100 GB)
  *   larger size maximums for individual messages (TBD)
  *   online space for storage and collaboration (1 TB)
  *   access to web versions of Word, Excel, and other Microsoft Office applications
  *   downloadable Office applications for your desktop and mobile devices
  *   HIPAA compliant
One of the requirements for this move will be that everyone will need to be setup with NETID+ also you will need to change your netid passwords, if you change your password after March 1st then you will not be required to change it again.

Once they are ready for the migration to the new system you will get an email from UITS letting you know that your mailbox will be migrating, you won't have to do anything, you can continue using your email in OUTLOOK or Webmail. Once the migration is complete you will also get an email letting you know.

If anyone has any questions let me know I will try to answer them but they are still in the testing phase of this.
Their plan is to start the migration in batches this summer. Once I get the exact date I will let everyone know.
