FAQ:
 What changes will need to be made?
On the day of the switch-over, you will need to change the settings in your mail client to reflect the Google servers.  Your email address will stay the same.  Prior to moving the password on your email account will need to be changed so we can migrate any existing mail in your account to the Google platform.  On February 22nd, prior to the switch-over date, you will be provided with a new password for your email account.  After the switch-over, you will be able to change the password to any password you wish to use.

Why does my password need to be changed?
In order to keep your account secure, all passwords are encrypted.  Unfortunately due to this encryption, we are unable to view or retrieve your password.  Unfortunately, due to this restriction, a new password must be assigned to your email account.
 
What if I do not wish to switch my account?
We can understand that some people may not wish to switch.  Unfortunately, we are unable to run both platforms at the same time.  If you do not wish to switch, please let us know prior to February 15th and we will be happy to close your account on the switch-over date.
