Since we have been using the metaphor of moving to a new house, some of you may be wondering what is happening to the old house and the stuff that you had stored there (email messages, contacts, calendar data).
When we talk about moving your stuff, we are actually making a copy of all of your email, the email folder structure that you have on the server, the contacts that you have in Convergence and the events that you have stored on your web calendar. The copy of all of this stuff will be where you start in your new Zimbra house.
We will not be deleting or destroying the information contained on the ‘old’ server until a much later date. What that means is that if something gets left behind (we don’t think that it will, but in the off chance that something does) we can go back to the ‘old’ server and retrieve it.
You will also have Read-only access to the old web calendar for a period of time so that you can compare event data between your old and new calendars. (We will provide a link to access the old calendar)
Computing Services is working very hard to make sure that nothing is left behind but you can rest easily knowing that we will be able to go back to retrieve something if the need arises.
