We’re postponing the upgrade to the Zimbra server. In the run-up to the migration, we discovered an issue that we had not previously identified in the plan. It’s not a big issue, mind you, but rather than improvise something, we’re going to make s…
It looks like we’ll be able to go ahead with the server upgrade I sent mail about earlier this week. You may get another notice from CIS on this, but here is the current plan: Upgrade to ZCS (Zimbra Collaboration Suite) software v5.0.6 from 5.0.2 …
(There’s a beer theme going here, bear with me. It’s American Craft Beer Week: http://www.americancraftbeerweek.org.) Well, folks, I’m past due for my general update on All Things Systems. I’d like to make this a longer note, but I’m pressed for t…

Right now, we have well over 500 accounts in the zimbra.mcs.anl.gov domain. All but around 85 of them are generally considered to be fully migrated. You should see your new mail, your old mail, and your calendar and contact data. The reason those …
Just to catch some of the common questions we’re seeing: All your old mail should be available right where it was. We did get a lot of it synced up to the server, but for those of you with two accounts (a pre-existing Zimbra account and the new mi…
