    2626== A Note Regarding the Aug 1, 2006 Email Transition ==
    2727
    28 On Aug 1, 2006, email sent to your username AT astro.columbia.edu will start going to the new email server (mail.astro.columbia.edu) rather than the old server (usually jewels.phys.columbia.edu).  We want to stress that both servers will remain functional and no email will be deleted.  That means that you can read your old email on the suns as before, but new email (sent Aug 1 or later) will end up at the new mail server (we will eventually phase out the old email server).

    3030It should be pointed out that we will NOT be transferring your old email from the sun system to the new system.  In other words, as of Aug 1 your new email INBOX will be empty (ah, if only it would stay that way).  However, this transfer is easy for you to do yourself.  In your email client (e.g. thunderbird) you can have two or more inboxes active at the same time (i.e. two email accounts).    That means that once you create your new account (using the new mail.astro.columbia.edu server), and provided that you have not deleted your old email settings, you can simply copy over the contents of your old INBOX -- and any folders --- from the old account to the new account.  The exact way this is done depends on which email client you are using, but is generally very straightforward (just like moving folders on a desktop).
