What to Expect After Your
Mailbox Moves to Exchange 2007
While your mailbox is moving you will not have access at all. Once the move
is complete you can make the noted changes below, depending on your client.
- Outlook 2007 On Your Office Desktop
- You will have a pop-up saying you need to restart Outlook (if it was open
during the move). Once you [re]start Outlook you may get a pop-up with lots
of old reminders listed. You can just press the Dismiss All
button.
- Outlook Web Access (OWA)
- The URL is
https://email.slac.stanford.edu
- Outlook Anywhere On Your Home Computer or Laptop
- For the people who access email from home computers, etc. then we
encourage you to try Outlook Web Access at
https://email.slac.stanford.edu. We think this will be an excellent replacement for
RPC over HTTPS for our
Internet Explorer users.
- However, those with laptops who currently use RPC over HTTPS we believe
you'll want to stay with this solution in Exchange 2007. The name has
changed to Outlook Anywhere. Configuration instructions are here:
Outlook Anywhere.

- Calendar Best Practices
- Please see this page for best practices for managing your
(or your bosses) calendar:
Calendar Management 101
- iPhone ActiveSync Clients
- You cannot make these changes in advance of the mailbox moving. Once the
mailbox is moved, no initial change is necessary but you should change the ActiveSync server
name in the iPhone ActiveSync settings to email.slac.stanford.edu.
iPhone Information page.
- Windows Mobile based PDAs and SmartPhones
- You cannot make these changes in advance of the mailbox moving. Once the
mailbox is moved, you will be prompted to re-sync. Accept all prompts
and warnings. ActiveSync will continue to work with the old settings
and old server. However, you should reconfigure the ActiveSync
application to use email.slac.stanford.edu so you take
advantage of the new features. PDA
Information page.
- Thunderbird or Alpine IMAP/POP
- You cannot make these changes in advance of the mailbox moving. Once the
mailbox is moved, your IMAP/POP client will not work until you change the Incoming mail server name to
email.slac.stanford.edu. Full setup info:
Thunderbird IMAP
- You will need to re-subscribe to all folders if you didn't
have a default of auto-subscribe. To auto-subscribe to all
folders do this: Tools; Account Settings; select Server Settings
along the left and press the Advanced button. Uncheck the box in
front of "Show only subscribed folders".
- NOTE: Thunderbird users will lose labels on their messages
when their mailbox is moved to Exchange.
- Authenticated SMTP
- You can use either Windows Exchange or Kerberos version. More info:
Exchange Authenticated
SMTP and
Kerberos Authenticated SMTP
- Mac OS X Snow Leopard
- Auto-discover setup will work in both SLAC network and
off-site.
Setup instructions from apple.com.
- We have found that in order to be able to open another user's calendars
the other person will need to specifically grant Reviewer privileges to you.
Granting Reviewer rights to Default is not sufficient. However, you
see people's free/busy info when scheduling meetings.
- We learned that when you "Erase Deleted Items" in the Mac
Mail client the mail is truly DELETED and will not be
recoverable via the Exchange "dumpster". So, please be careful
when you choose to Erase Deleted Items using Mac Mail. You can
instead use the Mac Accounts, Trash setting to let the client
auto-delete any messages over a certain age (e.g. "one month").
- Entourage Users
- Must upgrade to 2008 version. Configuration
instructions can be found
here.
