What's going to be different?
Your Email address – [email protected]
Global Address Book Access - UW directory
The UWB only Outlook Directory will be going
away
The way you access email through the web
https://outlook.com/uw.edu
Public Folders will no longer be used.
Instead, there will be a "Rooms" feature built into
your meeting requests that allows you to add
rooms like you can add people.
What's going to be different?
Student employees will use their UW email address as
their work email address
This only affect students who work on campus
All new employees will be given UWB login credentials
but will only have a @uw.edu email address
All new employees will need to create a new profile
BEFORE being able to use the Outlook desk client
It will take a few days for new employees' Exchange
Online email to be set up
A good tip is to request the account a few days
before the employee starts

UWB IT has provided you instructions on

please contact the UWB IT Helpdesk first
Homework to Prepare you for the
Migration
We recommend waiting to do any major
"house cleaning" in your inbox (mass
deletions of email, etc.) until after you
migrate. If you would like to do so before
hand, please do so at least a week
ahead of your migration date (if not
farther ahead of time). This is to ensure
that all deleted email does not reappear
in your inbox after the migration due to
the final email sync.
On Migration Day
You will begin using your new email at 8am
on the day of your migration.
Any previous email forwarding setting will
be automatically changed for you at 8am.
Continue to login to your computer with
your UWB credentials.
Running off to a meeting? Sick at home?
You will be able to check your email online
starting at 8am via
https://outlook.com/uw.edu
On Migration Day
Stop sending email from your UWB email account after 8am
Visit: www.uwb.edu/office365 and click the golden button for
migration day instructions.
That morning, Outlook may tell you something is wrong. You
could see this message on a PC :
This is normal. Just click “ok” and Outlook will automatically
close.
If you do not see this dialog box, close Outlook anyway.
On Migration Day
After closing Outlook, create a new
Outlook profile for your UW email account
on each PC computer you use (desktops,
laptops) before reopening Outlook
For PCs, creating a new profile is different
than adding an account. Be sure to create a
new profile and not add an account.
When using a Mac, you will be "adding an
account", as profiles do not exist for Mac.
Add an account on each Mac you use.
On Migration Day
After you’ve created your new profile (or
account for Macs), you can open Outlook.
It will prompt you to login again.
Use your FULL @uw.edu email address and
password
You will see all your email from your UWB
inbox and all new, incoming mail
Please note it may take a few minutes for
your inbox to completely populate.
On Migration Day
Reconfigure Outlook with
shared calendars
resource mailboxes
to add a newly migrated resource mailbox,
you must know the shared NetID password
delegates
RSS feeds
Notes and Drafts
Updating your email address in your email
signatures (if applicable)
On Migration Day
Configure UW email accounts on mobile
devices (Phones, Tablets) and delete
your UWB accounts from mobile devices.
View public folders through
mail.uwb.edu and login with your UWB
account information (standard
procedure until the entire campus has
migrated)
