EUDORA MIGRATION CONTINUES

During the summer over 170 faculty and staff members have transitioned from Eudora to another email client. Thunderbird is the most popular email client selected. Beginning in October, ITS will be scheduling a time to migrate current Eudora users.

We understand that changing e-mail software can be inconvenient so please consider the following options: you can switch to another e-mail program (apple mail or outlook), or you can follow our recommendation to migrate to Thunderbird. We are happy to assist you with the process now or when it is convenient for you during the next few months.
To facilitate the transition, ITS is doing the following:

Individual or Departmental Installation Appointments – ITS is scheduling appointments.Depending on the amount of email that needs to be migrated a migration can take 1 to 4 hours. Please call the Help Desk for an appointment at ext. 4357 or send an email to jacobsen@swarthmore.edu to schedule a group or departmental migration.
