What to Expect After Your
Mailbox Moves to Exchange 2007
This is currently in test mode. Everyone's mailbox
will be moved during Holiday break 2009.
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)
- You can go ahead and change your URL in advance of the move as the new
server can still connect you to your mailbox on Exchange 2003. The new URL is
https://email.slac.stanford.edu
Note: After the move, you may experience a
long delay when accessing your mailbox using the new
Microsoft Outlook Web Access. The delay can last several minutes if
the following conditions are true:
 | This is the first time
you access the mailbox using
Outlook Web Access since the
mailbox was moved.
|
| Your
Outlook Web Access view is
not sorted by the date
messages were received.
|
| You have a mailbox size
that is greater than
1 gigabyte (GB).

- Outlook Anywhere On Your Home Computer or Laptop -
Previously called Outlook RPC over HTTPS
- 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.
- If you've been using it with Exchange 2003 then you can change your Outlook Anywhere settings in advance of the move to
use the new front-end server. Change Outlook 2007 via: Tools; Account
Settings; Change...; More Settings; Connection tab; Proxy Settings; change
the 2 locations where you see www-mail.slac.stanford.edu to
email.slac.stanford.edu.
-
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Authenticated SMTP
- No Exchange 2007 solution yet. For now you can continue to use
exch-roam.slac.stanford.edu as you have been.
- 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.
