Next Phase of Exchange 2007 Migration

Anyone who currently has a Voice over IP phone (a Cisco handset) and are still on IMAP/unxmail will be converted to Exchange 2007 on Tuesday, June 24th. An email was sent out over the weekend to those who will be a part of this next phase of the Exchange 2007 migration.

For those on PCs, you can find instructions on setting up your new Exchange account online at: http://www.shsu.edu/exchangesetup

For those on a Mac or using another email client other than Outlook, you will need to use the following settings.

Incoming Mail Server: cas.shsu.edu
Port: 993
Use SSL

Outgoing Mail Server: The outgoing mail server will remain the same (smtp.shsu.edu).

When checking your email from an off campus location you will need to select "Exchange Mail" from the University Fast Links or click on the "Exchange Mail" link in the orange section on the SHSU main web page.

If you need assistance after your mailbox has been moved, please place a workorder or contact the Helpdesk at x4-1950.

Conversion to Exchange 2007

The time has come for moving current Exchange users to the new Exchange 2007 system. In preparation for this move we ask that you clean out your current mailboxes so that the move will go quickly and as smooth as possible. If you need assistance in setting up an Archive folder on your S drive, please contact the Helpdesk at x4-1950. You can also find the instructions in our Software Guides.

Since Exchange 2007 will be the campus email system for all faculty, staff, and students we have had to set up quotas. We have given each as much space as we can offer at this time.

New Quotas are as follows:
Faculty/Staff:
150MB you will be warned that you are over quota.
185MB you will no longer be able to send email.
200MB you will no longer be able to send OR receive email until you are back under quota. Any emails that come in during this time will be bounced back as undeliverable.

Students:
80MB you will be warned that you are over quota.
90MB you will no longer be able to send email.
100MB you will no longer be able to send OR receive email until you are back under quota. Any emails that come in during this time will be bounced back as undeliverable.

Alumni/Organization Accounts:
40MB you will be warned that you are over quota.
45MB you will no longer be able to send email.
50MB you will no longer be able to send OR receive email until you are back under quota. Any emails that come in during this time will be bounced back as undeliverable.

Check back here for more information on when your email will be moved. As always let us know if you have any questions or concerns by posting a comment or sending us email.

Exchange Server

As I'm sure you all are aware, our Exchange server is currently down. We do not have an estimate on when it will be returned to normal working condition. Rest assured we are working closely with Dell Support to solve the problem as quickly as we can.

We understand what an inconvenience this is and appreciate your patience.
