Post Migration
Your mailbox will most likely look just the way you left it before the migration. New mail will begin to flow real time. All of the email sent to mailboxes during the migration period will most likely not appear immediately. A few days after the migration is over, this email will appear all at once. Depending upon how much email you receive, this may be a large number of emails to appear at one time. Be prepared!
OneDrive for Business content is taking several days to migrate. If you are a heavy OneDrive for Business user, please be prepared for delays in accessing this content. It most likely will not be available at the same time email service is restored.

When setting up the post migration Outlook profile, the white box requesting log in credentials may pop up behind the blue Outlook splash screen. If this happens, users need to click the white box to proceed.
Mailboxes will populate at different speeds. DO NOT compare mailboxes. Some may immediately see new mail while others may not for several minutes. Folders will populate at different speeds as well.
Users may receive Outlook calendar reminders from events long in the past. This is a known issue and we will communicate a fix once that has been received.
Outlook 2013 users will have to click through Next, Next, Finish.
Outlook 2016 will not see this.
Read and Delivery Receipts should not be expected to work between districts after the migration.
After migration, Gmail will be open in the district. The email standard for Boone County is Office365. All school related email should use the Boone County provided email address using Office365. Personal email accounts, regardless of vendor, should not be used for school related communication.
