Ugh, this is a difficult mail to write. Those migration accounts we created, the ones that took so much time moving mail automatically from cliff (old server) to zimbra (new server)… the accounts we spent so much time creating in an effort to ma…

We’ve got just over 60 accounts that need their final merge done by hand, preferably by the account owner since some judgement calls may need to be made in terms of folder names and such. But, as of right now, all mail is hitting the new server. W…

Docs are coming shortly. If you’re one of the users who isn’t seeing all your mail in one place, you’ll get an e-mail from me detailing what you need to do to merge things into one. If you feel you’d like help doing that, we’re going to divide and…
