Converted E-Mail Accounts

From The University of Akron Support Center Wiki

The following information pretains to E-Mail accounts that have been converted from a Student to a Staff (GMail to Exchange); or from a Staff to a Student (Excahnge to GMail). These circumstances do not apply to everyone, and if they apply to your account you will know it.

From GMail to Exchange

When an account is converted from GMail to Exchange, the email account in the GMail system will still exist. It is important to have the e-mail from that account forwarded to your Exchange account. To set up mail forwarding for your GMail account, please click here.

Any mail which was available in the UA System has been moved to the Ecxhange account, but mail which is only on the GMail account may not have been moved.

To move the mail over to the Exchange account you can set up gmail as an imap client in outlook, this will allow a drag and drop feature to the email accounts for moving the mail. For help adding an imap client in Outlook please click here.

From Exchange to Gmail

When an account is converted from Exchange to GMail, the email that was on the Exchange system will be migrated to the GMail account.
